Title: Jamarcus Russell - And so it begins

JaMarcus Russell -- widely regarded as the greatest bust in NFL history -- is in danger of losing the $2.4 million mansion he purchased after signing with the Raiders back in 2007 ... TMZ has learned.


According to documents obtained by TMZ -- foreclosure proceedings have begun on the former #1 overall draft pick's house ... after he allegedly failed to pay $195,512.05 in mortgage payments.

Now, if the unemployed QB doesn't cough up the cash in the next 3 months, the bank will put the home on the auction block. 

FYI -- Russell famously signed a RIDICULOUS contract worth around $60 mil in 2007 -- and then proceeded to only win 7 games in three pathetic seasons while gaining about 400 pounds.

25-year-old Russell was eventually released from the team -- and is currently out of professional football.

We called JM's rep for comment -- who told us he had yet to speak to JaMarcus about the situation.

My favorite is when they say they let the bank take their houses back on purpose; epic bullshit.

A lot of people's house values are in the sink.  Jamarcus's house is worth less than the payout which is why he isn't paying a dime.  It'll hurt his credit record but with 60 million it doesn't really matter. 

Its a good business move actually.

His contract was for something like $60mil with $32mil guaranteed. After taxes he probably kept about 1/2.

He got drafted by the raiders. They paid him an insane signing bonus (like they do for most of their 1st rd busts).

I can't think of any other team that would or was wiling to pay him that (let alone draft him) with the first pick.

He was lazy at lsu and he's lazy now despite all his gifted talents. Wasting GOD given talents that lands you prosperity in any form and you not recognize this makes you a fool therefore he will no longer prosper.

This same rule applies to me or anybody on this planet if you don't wakeup before it's too late. J Russ is DONE!

NFL is not guaranteed , he only keeps his signing bonus and the years he played he didnt finish of his contract... BUST

That's ok, I'm perfectly happy with my home on the beach overlooking Catalina Island, my other home on the golf course in Palm Springs overlooking the mountains. Thanks for teaching me to win. Earning money instead of inheriting it is much more satisfying. Thanks for playing and teaching me to win.

I wish I could recall how they factor the remaining years of a contract against the salary cap of a team.  Its just plain stupid.  Heard it one time and it was like listening to a algebra story problem.

Doesn't matter how much money he got as it is obviously NOT the point I was making you lawn jockey. .... ::)



The value of his house is less than the amount of money is owes on it which is why he prob isn't making any payments on the house so he's letting it go.  A lot of people are doing it these days because of those circumstances.  Until the housing market stabilizes, expect this to happen

we all know that jamarcus played the raiders for fools.  now...does he buy some land in mississippi next to david banner and live off the interest or keep purchasing those Marquis Jet Cards and making stops at Jacob the Jeweler?

unfortunately he will probably be broke by 30.

ok...lets assume vince is right and he let the house go.  i'm willing to bet his back up is a stash of luxury cars and jewelry.  i'm not sure financial advice would work with some athletes given it's the baller culture and they have to spend to look big time.

I actually visited CI back in May 2009. The ferry ride took about 45 mins to get out there but it's a very unique island. THe Wrigley's ( founder of the chewing gum) have the biggest estate on the island.

Apparently both of you missed the fact that by being 22 miles away, you can't "overlook" the island. Seeing the island is one thing, but overlooking the island as if you're on Squadfathers balcony overlooking the the McDonald's play pen, is quite another.
