Alameda, Calif. ? Quarterback JaMarcus Russell arrived in the Bay Area on Tuesday to sign a record rookie deal with the Oakland Raiders and end the longest holdout in more than two decades by the league’s top pick.

Lawyers for the Raiders and Russell were reviewing the final details of the six-year, $61 million contract, but no holdups were expected, according to two people familiar with the talks who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Russell was expected to sign in time to join his new team for practice today.

Russell will be guaranteed a record $29 million, the highest amount allowed under the NFL’s rookie salary pool rules, and would get an additional $3 million if he reaches minimal playing time incentives, the two people said.

Russell would earn the $3 million bonus in 2010 if he takes 35 percent of the team’s snaps this year, 45 percent in 2008 or 50 percent in 2009. If Russell hit all the incentives in the deal, it would be worth $68 million.
