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.

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

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.

What do you mean no receivers? How you could you forget Darius Heyward Bey? That kid is on the brink of super-stardom

Oakland made some GREAT O-line picks, two guys I wouldn't mind seeing here in Bruce Campbell and Jared Veldheer. Even with two rookies, this line is better than Campbell was abused behind last season with us.

The Raiders somehow had a GREAT draft. McClain is a monster, two great O-Tackles, some defensive depth.

He could actually see some success there. They always have a good running game too.

Good luck Jason, you'll need it.

I just can't understand why we gave him away for a 4th rounder in 2012. We might as well just gave him away for free. He's better than that. We could have kept him as a backup for one year instead of getting ripped off like this. Also, if we had drafted another QB late, this move would have made more sense. Jevan Sneed went undrafted, then signed with the Bucs.

Does this mean Colt Brennan is definitely staying?

I just can't understand why we gave him away for a 5th rounder in 2012. We might as well just gave him away for free. He's better than that.

It's actually a 4th rounder, but I get the feeling that Oakland was kind of in the driver's seat with this one. They knew we had gotten McNabb and that eventually Campbell had to be traded or cut, I don't think anyone bought MS' whole "we'll keep Campbell if need be".

We're probably lucky to have gotten anything for him. There was talk a week or two ago that teams were just going to wait for us to release him.
