but if they decide to trade him, having him under a contract like that should help us get more value out of him in a trade since 1) it would appear that we actually wanted him and 2) the new team wouldn't have to worry about negotiating a huge deal with him or fear that he could walk away after only one year.

Exactly what I was thinking, something like a 3 year deal at $5M per. Look for a QB to groom in the later rounds. Address OL early.

Makes a lot of sense to me. Build the line, give Jason a chance to show what he can do when he's not getting pounded. If it doesn't work out, trade him. In the meantime the young QB gets brought along slowly without being thrown into the fire and beaten to a pulp.

I would not mine seeing getting a great OT at 4 and then McCoy in the 2nd round.

nothing is for sure until the picks are made.

What about Campbell and the 4th pick for the number one pick which turns into Bradford. I won't like it but just wondering what folks thought.

If you want to win less than 4 games, sure...

I hate it. I don't want to pick Bradford at No. 4 with Campbell taking the lumps while he's "groomed on the bench."

My guess is that his agent will insist on a no-trade or limited-trade clause in any new deal

Well if we draft or sign another starting QB, he'll want to go to another team where he would be assured to be the starter. If Campbells not getting the love here, he'd probably agree to go any team not owned by Al Davis.

From Chris Mortensen on Twitter:

I trust what I hear Dr. James Andrews is telling teams - Bradford's shoulder is on schedule & will be strong. Brees' injury was much worse.

Rams' GM (and former Redskin) Billy Devaney said they're deciding between Suh, McCoy, Bradford, Clausen

Wow Clausen number one would be a shocker.

they need a QB and may not have a good excuse to drop number 1 pick money on another 1st round d-lineman.. so I could see them going QB

I wonder if signing vets is a priority with Labor negoitiations on the table. Weed out the top reps to weaken the players stance on talks...
