JaMarcus Russell’s Oakland Mansion in Foreclosure, Quarterback’s Home Could Get Auctioned Off

The problems just keep piling on for troubled quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

The former No. 1 draft pick's house fell into foreclosure, as Russell failed to pay $195,512.05 on the $2.4 million mansion, TMZ.com reports.

Russell has three months to come up with the remaining total needed on the house until the bank puts it on the auction block.

Should there be a lockout this upcoming season, Russell will have a hard time finding work, as the troubled quarterback had recent problems with "purple drank," a codeine based beverage that is illegal.

Russell made a name for himself around the league by wearing mink coats, and viciously underperforming on the field.
