Surprise, surprise.

The New York Jets have crossed former Oakland Raiders bust JaMarcus Russell off their list of potential free agents in the wake of his arrest for possession of a controlled substance, according to the New York Daily News.

Per the report, the Jets had recently made an exploratory call to Russell's agent.

Now, they have no interest in Russell.

Russell has a career 65.2 passer rating.

He was caught with codeine syrup today during the arrest at his Mobile, Ala., home during an undercover investigation.

He's free on $2,500 bail.

He has a Wednesday bond hearing and a July 20 court date.

Russell struggled with his weight, decision-making and accuracy when he played for the Raiders.
