Jets have explored idea of JaMarcus Russell

[whitney777]

The Newark Star-Ledger reports the Jets have had "some very exploratory, informal discussions" regarding ex-Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell.
Russell, of course, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft and has been out of the league since 2009. However, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported last week that Russell is planning to show his face at the NFL Scouting Combine next month in hopes of making a comeback. Russell is currently tipping the scales at 305 pounds, but hopes to get down to his past playing weight of around 260. The Star-Ledger says these talks happened after Mike Tannenbaum was fired, but it's unclear if John Idzik was in the fold, yet. Only the Jets.

Double the pleasure, double the fun. Tebow and Russell the new 2-headed monster!

It would be great if Russel actually pans out into the talent he was projected to be.. The Jets are a joke though..

Its only a matter of time before Barnum and Bailey begin sponsorsing the team. They'll be playing in Three Ring Stadium and a before the game, a car will pull up to the 50 yard line and the starting twenty two players will all exit the vehicle.......

That's the funniest thing I have ever heard! I really hope it happens... They are treating Greg McElroy like a Red Headed step child. Oh wait...
