True or False? - Jason Campbell will be traded before or during the 2010 draft.

During, probably for a 2nd

He's tendered for a first.

They can negotiate a trade. It doesn't have to be a first-rounder.

Couldn't agree more.

So what if they trade Campbell and the #4 to St Louis? You are still stuck paying out a contract for a #1 overall pick, QB none the less who gets paid more than anyone. Take a look at past #1 overall QB taken, they get TONS of money. And if a franchise if not careful, it could set thier team back as much as 10 years. Case in point:

JaMarcus Russell
Ryan Leaf (ok he was the 2nd pick, but you see what I mean)

The #1 overall pick is scary enough to choose, but on a QB it is magnified ten-fold.

Little if any attention so far has been directed towards the LT position in free agency. To date no attempt has been made to resign Levi Jones who after coming in late last year played well at times. He's an URFA who has made it clear he wants to be a starter for some team, not sure the Redskins are willing to commit to him long term.

Therefore it may be safe to asume it is the intention to address the position of LT in the draft, whether it be with the 1st or 2nd round pick. So much speculation surrounding Jason Campbell that will all be made much clearer next month.

I am beginning to not like Shanny. His teams were always soft, except for those Elway Terrell Davis, Sharp Super Bowl years.

Just so you know, and I will have to find the link, but an offer was made to sign Levi Jones, and he said no thank you, he wanted more money, and probably some guarantee which he isn't getting.

I agree about Levi Jones. Maybe he is the one holding up a deal - remember he shopped himself for a long time last year?

Maybe if we do not walk away from the draft with a clear new LT (I'm not recommending this, just saying), he will quickly sign, thinking he has a sure starting job with us. Maybe.

Levi was offered one year deal I believe, probably vet min

Signing Rex means that Shanny is building a soft team? How did you make that leap?

We...agree...?



You're absolutely right.
