The Facts:
A league source tells us that the Raiders have offered Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, a six-year contract containing more than $30 million in guaranteed money. The actual number could be closer to $31 million than it is to $30 million. This information is contrary to reports that the Raiders have topped out at a lower number.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to PFT editor Mike Florio, the Russell camp presently is looking for guaranteed money in the neighborhood of $35 million. ... Other obstacles remain, including the extent to which the guaranteed money will be paid out in the form of an option bonus. But the present gap in guaranteed money is wider than previously believed, and as Florio added: "Unless Russell's side of the table drops its number significantly, this one isn't getting done any time soon."
