While i'd like to get more than a 3rd and a 5th for him, the reality is that if we draft Bradford at 4, Campbells trade value plumets. And if we kept Campbell until 2011, we wouldnt get anything for him at all. In the past, we've held on to guys too long and its come back to bite us.(Remember, the Dolphins offered us a 1st rounder for Ramsey. 1 season later, we let him go for a 6th, if i remember properly). If the decision has been made that Campbell is not the long-term answer here, then lets move him now. Better a year too soon than a year too late.

Jason's situation could become complex depending on the type year he has if he's the SQB in 2010. If we draft a Bradford or Clausen and Jason has a pro-bowl type season his value will increase considerably with or without a new CBA. We could have another Champ Bailey type situation on our hands because no way will he want to stay here. So maybe moving him now, with the circumstances being what they are would be best if there's an equitable deal out there.
