| als Tuesday in an attempt to work through his contract impasse. Crabtree had balked at a longstanding offer of approximately five years and $20 million with a reported $16 million guaranteed, instead seeking money comparable to higher draft picks. Oakland Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, the No. 7 choice, signed a five-year contract that will guarantee him at least $23.5 million. Jacksonville Jaguars top pick Eugene Monroe, taken eighth overall, signed a five-year, $25 million contract that includes $ |

| (MySportsbook) - It doesn't necessarily mean a team is giving up on the season when the backup quarterback gets promoted because of an ineffective starter. If Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable elects to bench JaMarcus Russell in favor of Bruce Gradkowski, all is not lost for the Silver and Black. Gradkowski isn't the best option right now, but keeping Russell in for another start just doesn't make sense. Oakland is already 1-3 following last Sunday's 29-6 disaster in Houston, in which Russell threw for 1 |
