Several NFL teams are scrambling for quarterback help right now, thus bringing Trent Edwards, Matt Leinart, John Beck and some other veterans who were unemployed back into the workout carousel.
So why can't JaMarcus Russell get a sniff?
The former No. 1 overall pick of the Oakland Raiders made a highly publicized return to football action this spring via several television and print reports announcing that the biggest bust in recent NFL Draft history was trying to resurrect his career. Russell was working on his mechanics with former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia while trying to shed 50 pounds to get down to 265. He even had a workout with the Chicago Bears in the spring.
And now, his name hasn't been mentioned as being in the mix for the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets or any other quarterback-needy team.
