Time will tell.
Regardless, he never earned a roster spot, IMO.

There has never been a bigger jackass than Aqib Talib, a guy that was cut from multiple rosters for being a gigantic, uncoachable asshole. He adds being a drunk pothead to the mix.
He's also been a hell of a football player and in the end, production wins out.
Guys will put up with ANYTHING if you produce. And no, Russell didn't produce but they also cut him before he got a chance to prove that he could.
Give him a year as an inactive (or even on the damn IR) and maybe he learns some valuable lessons there. But hey, I'd like to again chalk one up to Eric Berry's supreme leadership skills. If a guy wants to get paid for his intangibles, you'd like to think he could at least convince a 3rd rounder to not talk his way off the team.
