Last season QB JaMarcus Russell’s weight was a story at points in the season and offseason, but the 2nd-year QB says don’t worry about it – it’s a non-issue. In this week’s Sporting News Inside Dish, the QB insists that weight will not effect him this upcoming season. Russell said he was 269 at mini-camp, and that despite reports, he was never close to 300 pounds. The Raiders would like to see Russell get to about 255, as that is a weight where he can take advantage of his size and mobility.
