You would have figured that with the $60 million contract that JaMarcus Russell signed with the Oakland Raiders when he was the #1 overall draft pick in 2007, he would have enough pocket change laying around to make the monthly mortgage payments, even though his NFL career has imploded and he is currently unemployed. Sadly, that does not seem to be the case.
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.JaMarcus Russell -- Oakland Mansion In Foreclosure [TMZ]
