The Facts:
Russell is supposedly in much better shape than he was last season. But that doesn't mean he's slim. Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury-News reports that Russell weighed 271 pounds when he reported to the team's voluntary offseason workouts this week.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, that's 11 pounds heavier than Russell's listed weight of 260 pounds and it's six pounds more than he weighed at the 2007 scouting combine. Smith was quick to point out, however, that 271 pounds has to be considered progress considering that two years ago, Don Banks of SI.com wrote that there were rumors that Russell was weighing in at close to 300 pounds.
