In response to our posting of a rumor from Don Banks of SI.com that Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell is closing in on 300 pounds, a league source says that Russell isn’t close to 300 pounds, and that his weight is south of 275.

Russell’s listed weight is 255.

Last year, Russell caused a mini-stir at the Scouting Combine when he weighed in at a flabby 265 pounds.
