The Facts: Russell, the first overall pick in the 2007 draft and arguably the biggest bust in NFL history, continued his descent into oblivion on Monday with an arrest for possession of a controlled substance. Russell has posted bail in the amount of $2,500. He's due in court on July 20.

Diehards Line:Daniela Werner of the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register reports that Russell was arrested in his home during an undercover investigation that resulted in the discovery of codeine syrup, which often is mixed with soda and called "purple drank" or "lean" or "sizzurp. ..." While use of the "purple drank" might explain the lack of urgency that was the hallmark of Russell's career in Oakland, PFT's Mike Florio offered another possibility: "Maybe he's simply trying to get the Bengals' attention."
