Steve Corkran of InsideBayArea.com reports that, after four days of negotiations, the Raiders and quarterback JaMarcus Russell have agreed in principle on a contract that will pay Russell $31 million in guaranteed money.

The deal is expected to have a duration of six years and a maximum value of $60 million.

Didnt he turn down 31 mil back in the very begining??

Any way you slice it, it's still the richest rookie contract in NFL history. So Russell and his agents did something right.

But won't he get fined for missing week 1?

Finally the Raiders see reason! It's a miracle they didn't trade him to some team for a washed up linebacker with a discipline problem!!
