Many stories about former LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell have made their way to the internet over the years but on Tuesday we learned about a new one from his rookie season in the NFL.

According to this viral tweet below, Russell dumped out a bag full cash in front of his teammates during the Oakland Raiders rookie talent show.

At that time, Russell had just signed a six-year deal with the Raiders, worth $61 million.


Quarterback Josh McCown, who was on the Raiders back in 2007, confirmed the report.

"In" should be "It". It's not like he took ALL the contract value and made it rain. Cool thing for him to do.

Probably the strongest arm I have personally ever seen. He could decimate a receiver if he wanted to.

Probably the biggest waste of talent in the history of the league. Only Ryan Leaf comes close

Thank God Sam Bradford made over a hundred million and also lead zero teams to the playoffs. that means Jamarcus is the second biggest bust ever at over 60 million.

Don't forget about the CD his coaches gave him to look over and let them know what he thought of the plays. Asked him to look at it overnight. Comes in the next morning and they asked him what he thought. He said he liked them. Well, the CD was blank.
