Here's a full breakdown courtesy of National Football Post:
Russell’s enormous cost to the Raiders
Even if his career is over, QB will earn almost $40 million.
The Raiders have put themselves in the running for the
team with the least cost-effective player in the history of football.
The end seems near for JaMarcus Russell, the top pick in the 2007 NFL
Draft, with the announcement that the Raiders have decided to keep him
on the bench as a healthy backup quarterback and allow journeyman Charlie Frye to start on Sunday.
If he hadn’t already, Russell
now moves to the head of the conversation -- along with Ryan Leaf and
Tony Mandarich – as the biggest draft mistakes in NFL history. Although
those players qualify based on when they were picked and their on-field
performances – or lack of – Russell makes even a stronger case because
of the immense financial ramifications of his selection.
Russell has become the poster child for the problem with the rookie
compensation system, rewarding a few players who have never played with
more than most Pro Bowlers receive. With that in mind, let’s look at the
deal, where it has been and where it might go.
The choice
The Raiders -- enamored with Russell’s remarkable arm strength and
decent Wonderlic score of 24 – chose him over other top prospects that
year, including Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Darrelle
Revis and quarterback Brady Quinn (a story for another day).
The selection of Russell brought a massive financial obligation,
enhanced by the acknowledged “quarterback premium.

After using their top two picks on defensive tackles, the Jacksonville Jaguars are saying goodbye to the best one the franchise has known.
Jacksonville will release former Pro Bowl defensive tackle John Henderson on Monday, according to a source close to the situation.
Henderson had two years and $11 million remaining on his contract, and Jacksonville felt more comfortable not paying it and relying on its rookies.
With the 10th overall pick, the Jaguars selected California defensive tackle Tyson Alualu and with their second pick, Jacksonville took Louisiana Tech defensive tackle'Anthony Smith in the third round.
Henderson will be free to sign with any team.
Before the weekend, the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants had expressed some interest.
The Jaguars also withdrew their tender offer to linebacker Clint Ingram, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Kudos Jamarcus. I hope for your sake you hang on to a dollar or two. Lord knows no NFL team is going to sign you.
It's so sad how he pissed away all that athleticism and talent.

Not if me and the Raiders think alike.
