I agree 150%. Isn't J. Russel one of the top 10 paid QB's in the league, and at the time, he had never even set foot on the field. That is bullshit in my opinion. what if he turns out to be a pile of crap, that means the Raiders paid 29 Million for Ryan Leaf part II. There should be a set amount that is awarder per draft selection. Draft Pick 1 gets X amount of dollars, and it slowly declines from there. This money shoudl not just go back to the owners though, it should be used to invest in the veterans, the proven commodities in the industry. Not some dumb punk who hasn't contributed shit to the team or the league yet.
