ESPN: Clayton Expects Skins to Tender Campbell for a 1st and 3rd

Y'all should read this:

Julius Peppers among few likely winners in 2010 free agent market - Don Banks - SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/02/18/offseason/)

"It may be a situation where there are more trades, because if a club tendered a lot of guys, but now someone comes after one of them, maybe they're willing to be flexible and work with you on a trade,'' another veteran NFL general manager said. "Just because his tender is a (first) and a (third)-round pick, maybe they're willing to take less than that and be creative, and now you've got a deal. I think there's going to be a lot of that type of dialogue because of the circumstances this year.''

Honestly I don't think a 2nd would be that crazy considering the thin QB market.

In the end though I think the high tender shows JC that the team wants him back for one year at least, and it gives him a decent paycheck that works for both sides.

I dont think there's a chance any team would give up a 2nd for JC.

I agree that this shows the team wants him back as they really dont have any other options. I think if they draft a QB then JC can provide some competition and even start for a few weeks until the new guy is up to speed.

There's always Oakland! LOL. Although as someone said it, (unfortunately) they don't know they need a QB.

I think everyone except Al Davis knows they need a QB.

Even JaMarcus Russell! :lol:

2009 Sack Rates

Jason Campbell: 7.8%, 550 dropbacks
Aaron Rodgers: 8.5%, 591 dropbacks
Ben Roethlisberger: 9.0%, 556 dropbacks

Who made what look good again?

This is only due to the fact that Campbell is the only one of those three who can run and break sack tackles. Seriously. He escaped a LOT last year.

I agree that Ben is harder to take down. He is pretty good at keeping the play alive. Of course, that's a lot easier if you think the guy you're throwing to is gonna catch the ball. I think Campbell runs more effectively though.

What I wouldn't give for a sure handed, Art Monk-style receiver. Not the biggest stat monster or YAC man, just a guy that you know is gonna tatch the ball if it's catchable. If anyone knows a site that keeps good track of the "Dropped Balls" statistic, please let me know.

Big Ben is a LOT harder to bring down and keeps plays alive much better than Campbell.

If there were a Houdini Award for escape-artist QB's, Big Ben would be in the running every year.

Romo would be one of the top candidates, as well..
