Obviously he is willing to sign a minimum contract. He is worth taking to training camp in my opinion. He just may not have it any more.

Just like we did with Carson and Brooks...basically keeping them out of Jail

What would the lives of Carson and Brooks be without football? Where would they be?

Im with Hostile..outside of Glover..who is a sure thing @ DT?

You choose..

Blade?
Stewart? (nice offseason... but again..offseason)
Jailbird Carson?
Jailbird Brooks?

Russell has already played @ a preety high level in this league before his self inflicted fall...and is still only 28

Brooks and Carson are working on 2nd chances. Russell is working on about his 5th chance.

Talk about an "always something" player.

Very true, but Parcells MAYBE the only one HC in football to press the right buttons of Russell

No thanks. I like our DT's also.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Our DT projects are both projects and character problems. Russell's question is can he keep his nose out of things. If he can theres a really good chance hes got some high level play in him. Especially if its a low risk contract, it would almost be stupid not to take a shot at it.
