Jamarcus Russell – Oakland Raiders, Lost $39 Million

Athletes Who Went Broke

Newsweek

Football star JaMarcus Russell has one of the most remarkable careers in the entire NFL. Just a few years after joining, in 2007, he had earned the title of MVP at the Sugar Bowl after, the same year, winning the Oakland Raiders’ number one draft pick. Ultimately, Russell made a $61 million contract for joining the team! It seemed like the star athlete had a bright future ahead of him…

However, in the end, NFL teams could not depend on Russell, and he failed to make any great plays. Sadly,  after two years with the Raiders, they let him go. Since then, Russell has not played for any other teams, and it does not look good. Now, he’s often ranked as one of the biggest busts in NFL history.
