It's been a while since the name JaMarcus Russell has been heard around the NFL, and he's apparently been trying to get a foot in the door with the Dallas Cowboys and their owner Jerry Jones, among other teams.
Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in 2007 by the Oakland Raiders, hasn't seen action since the 2009 season. The Raiders cut him before the 2010 season, and an attempted comeback in 2013 with the Chicago Bears fell flat.
