Redskins trade Jason Campbell to Oakland


Updated 1:12 p.m.

The Jason Campbell era in Washington is over.

The Redskins traded the five-year veteran quarterback to Oakland this afternoon. In exchange for Campbell, it was believed the Redskins received the Raiders' sixth-rounder -- the 190th overall -- in addition to another late-round pick.

The Redskins had entered the draft with a league-low four picks but will walk out of it with at least six new players.

As for Campbell, a career in Washington that began five years ago with so much promise will move westward. Campbell's future here was immediately cast in doubt when the team acquired Donovan McNabb from Philadelphia earlier this month. He skipped the team's first minicamp this month and received permission from Washington Coach Mike Shanahan to pursue a trade.

"I talked to [Raiders owner] Al Davis, and he said he wants me there. That means a lot
to me," Campbell said this afternoon. "I'm ready to get to work."

The Redskins had previously acquired Rex Grossman as a free agent to serve as the team's backup this season.

Campbell, who earned $2.857 million during his final year in Washington, was a restricted free agent and signed his tender earlier this month with the Redskins for $3.14 million. He earned nearly $11 million in salary and bonuses in his five seasons with the Redskins.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Campbell has agreed to a contract that will pay him $3.14 million in 2010, plus a $100,000 workout bonus, and $4.5 million in 2011.

In Oakland, Campbell should have a chance to start, as he joins an impressive group of quarterbacks that includes JaMarcus Russell, Charlie Frye, Kyle Boller and Bruce Gradkowski.

Campbell was a first-round pick by Joe Gibbs in 2005 - the draft's 29th overall selection. The Redskins traded up to get him, giving away three picks, including their 2006 first-round selection. He was almost immediately anointed the team's quarterback of the future and after holding the clipboard for a year, he took over the starting job midway
through 2006 season.

He's been the team's top quarterback since then and has started its last 32 games. No quarterback has started more games for the Redskins since Mark Rypien led the huddle from 1989 to '93.

Even as the Redskins rotated offensive coordinators, Campbell saw his offensive numbers steadily rise each of the past three seasons, even as the offensive line in front of him struggled.

Last year, Campbell finished the season with career highs in completions (327), completion percentage (64.5), yards (3,618), yards per completion (7.1), touchdowns (20) and quarterback rating (86.4).

He also threw a career-high 15 interceptions and was sacked 43 times, more than all but two other NFL quarterbacks.

During his 52-game career in Washington, Campbell threw for 10,860 yards and 55 touchdowns. He is the team's sixth all-time in yardage, fifth in completions, second in completion percentage.

The team reached the playoffs twice while Campbell was a Redskin, though Mark Brunell was the quarterback in 2005 and Todd Collins played in place of an injured Campbell in 2007.

The Washington Redskins have traded quarterback Jason Campbell to the Oakland Raiders.

It's been expected that Campbell would be traded since the Redskins acquired Donovan McNabb, and trade talk between the Redskins and Raiders heated up today. Rick Maese of the Washington Post was the first to report that the trade is complete.

There's no immediate word on what the Redskins got from the Raiders for Campbell, although Maese suggests that it may have been Oakland's pick No. 190 and either No. 215 or No. 251 overall. Not a lot of compensation for a former first-round draft pick, but then again the Redskins didn't have a lot of leverage, as everyone knew Campbell was on the way out.

In Oakland, Campbell has to be considered the favorite to win the starting job over JaMarcus Russell, Kyle Boller, Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye.

Posted a minute before you. You loose. Flawless victory.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

Gradkowski vs. Campbell will be something I'm going to pay attention to. haha.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

Never mind you posted a link. You are now the winner.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

I would have rather kept him as a backup then traded him for a 6th.

He's doomed. No O-Line, no recievers. It's a QB's dream.

Why?

Re: Jason Campbell traded to Raiders
 

He's Finally GONE!!!

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

Sad to see him go. I really liked the man. Didn't win us many games, but a stellar character of a man. Will be interesting to see how he holds up in Oakland... I wish him nothing but the best in his career.

Re: Jason Campbell traded to Raiders
 

good riddance to bad rubbish

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

Would've preferred holding out for a next year's 4th or so. Good luck to the guy.

if your going to gloat, at least spell right :)

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

ha i woulda taken a small fry and some sweet and sour sauce, but two more picks is ok.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

They've already extended him a year too.

[quote=44ever;693972]Why?[/quote]

Mcnabb had been known to miss games. Campbell would have been a good insurance policy.

Re: Campbell A Raider

I agree, just hope Mcnabb can stay healthy now

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

[quote=mlmdub130;693994]jlc on nfln right now[/quote]

JLC fail. Adam Schefter already sorted out the details of the trade while JLC is still looking.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

whatever, he knows that Oakland sucks. At least he is going to get paid -- 3.14 mill and then 4.51 mill is a nice deal

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

Tell you what, I did want to see JC traded, because I thought it was a classic "need a change in environment" situation... BUT we got pretty well bent over on this one. Raiders just gave up a 6th rounder and some change for a starting qb. Sounds insane to say, but I could see Oakland having a pretty similar record to ours next year... they've got a lot of potential playmakers... we'll see what happens.

Isn't that what he had with us. It should like riding bike for him. This is not a good move for us. i wish him well.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

I know JC wanted the opportunity to start but why go to Oakland? I'd rather swallow my pride and stay here. Can't believe I'm sayin' this but we're more stable than Oakland. He could learn from a great coach, probably get to start 2-3 games and then be unrestricted in 11. I wish him well cause JC is a 100% pure class act.

they are reporting this, not a 6th...so what is it?

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

Good for Jason. He deserves a new team, a drop back system and a chance to start. I think Oakland provides all three.

I don't think he had the leadership qualities that this team needed but I am thankful how he stood up in the face of some terrible situations.

Re: Campbell A Raider

Yes Mcnabb is known to miss games but Campbell is known to lose games. I get what your saying but, we have traded away so many picks that we need as many as we can get this year and get them developed as quickly as possible. IMO.

I would hate to see what a cold Campbell would do on the field in week 10 if Mcnabb was to go out. Rex is a fine backup. We'll be OK.

I'm real curious to see what we get for Campbell...

It looks like the '12 4th... makes me feel a bit better but it's 2 years from now...

He never would have beaten out Grossman for the backup spot. RG is KS's guy.

i'm with you, i wasn't the biggest jc fan but he had a raw deal here and after last off season i was in his corner and wish him all the best

Rex sucks. He's not someone to count on. He was that way in Florida and Chicago.

Well, that's just a bullsh** comment. The guy clearly was not the answer here but he put up with a lot of crap and was a stand up guy through it all. He was a lot of things - but "bad rubbish" was not one of them.

Good luck to JC.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

I actually feel like we got good value for JC...for months I've thought he basically had zero trade value.

...I wish him the best in Oakland. Mostly I hope he doesn't get as beat up as he has the last couple years behind our porous line.

Agreed, a class act he was. A fresh start to all.

I don't think he will do well as most don't out there, just a guess. Just glad we got something for him.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

I'm guessing the pick was in 2012 because Shanny didn't want a pick in next years draft what with the uncertainty of the CBA and lockout potential, etc., in 2011.

Re: Campbell A Raider
 

There should be rules about trading future draft picks. 2012? C'mon.
