| Re: Raiders using Johnson, Quinn as ploys? "It's really apparent from the way they're doing this that they want [LSU quarterback JaMarcus] Russell," said a person with knowledge of talks between the Raiders and representatives for Russell, Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson and Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn. "They're playing on whose ego is caught up in being the No. 1 guy, expecting that one of those players is going to cave in."
Given that Quinn was the latest player to be involved in the talks, the feeling is that the Raiders are trying to put pressure on Russell to get the deal done. Raiders, traditionally, love big arms...I am thinking it is Russell and Quinn is just leverage. |
