Is JaMarcus Russell insane?

Ok last thing I read wasnt about the overall total of the contract(which was just what Russells agent asked for) but they wanted 31 mil guarenteed...when the Raiders put that on the table Russell bumped it up to 35 mil. As for the previous poster that said the guarenteed money has been around for years...your right but the Raiders are trying to add a clause this year that alot of teams will be going with where if the player gets suspended for conduct they can recoup some of the guarenteed money back. I dont blame Davis for wanting that clause...imagine giving a kid that hasnt played a snap of professional ball 31 mil then he goes out and does something stupid ( pulls a Vic/Pacman) and gets suspended for a year or longer. Rookies dont deserve this kind of money to begin with but if your going to pay them it make them responsible for their actions off field too so your not paying someone multimillions for sitting at home with their feet up.
