The Oakland Raiders confirmed Thursday that they have filed a grievance seeking to recoup money from former quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

A source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora the team wants roughly $9.5 million.

Russell's agent, Eric Metz, didn't immediately return an e-mail from The Associated Press. He earlier told Yahoo! Sports, which first reported the story, that: "The money in question was fully guaranteed. That is why JaMarcus was forced to hold out and miss all of training camp as a rookie. The Raiders know that, and this is our only comment."

According to La Canfora, one source dubbed the potential ruling in the case as "50/50," depending on the interpretation of some language in Russell's contract. Russell was paid salary advances for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons.

The Raiders appear to have improved substantially in the passing game with the departure of QB JaMarcus Russell and the addition of offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, with a byproduct being the development of second-year wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Heyward-Bey was a standout at the Raiders' practice Wednesday in Alameda, catching everything thrown his way, smoothly accelerating out of breaks and turning upfield after securing the ball. A spin move he put on Nnamdi Asomugha after making a catch left the All-Pro cornerback with nothing but air.

For a day, anyway, Heyward-Bey's performance resembled one befitting the No. 7 overall pick in the 2009 draft.

Raiders release Russell

New York Daily News

May 06, 2010 · 6:15 PM EDT

QB JaMarcus Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft, was released by the Raiders, leaving with only seven wins as a starter and over $39M.

Senior executive John Herrera told The Associated Press the move was made Thursday - two weeks after the Raiders traded for Washington's QB Jason Campbell - and that "we wish him well."

Russell, who led LSU to a 10-2 record including a win over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, where he was the MVP.

His career with the Raiders didn't start well, either, as he held out of traIning camp, missed the first few weeks of the season before signing a $68 million contract with $31.5 guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact:

It doesn't take 4for4.com to tell you that even if Russell finds another home he's going to have little to no fantasy value.
