Redskins trade Campbell to Raiders
The Washington Redskins have traded quarterback Jason Campbell to the Oakland Raiders for a fourth-round draft pick in 2012.
The Redskins have to be thrilled to receive such a high pick in return for Campbell, even if they don’t get to use it for another couple of years.
Campbell’s time in Washington had come to an end one way or another with the acquisition of star quarterback Donovan McNabb.
It was clear that Campbell was displeased with the way the organization had treated him and he wanted a chance to go somewhere else and start.
The Redskins never seem to have any draft picks, so getting one in 2012 in the middle rounds seems like a pretty good move for a player they could have just released.
