Gibbsisgod2006 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Rams interested in Campbell? 10:45AM ET Jason Campbell | Redskins | Interested: Rams? Top Email We continue to be interested to see how Jason Campbell fits into the Washington Redskins' long-term plans at QB, given the likelihood that they will draft a gunslinger this April. But what if his immediate future isn't in D.C. at all? That's the hypothetical posed by NFC East blogger Matt Mosley on Monday. Mosley writes that perhaps the St. Louis Rams -- whose head coach, Steve Spagnuolo watched crates of film on Campbell as DC of the New York Giants -- will make a trade offer to the Skins, since Campbell might be seen as a more conservative alternative to Michael Vick. Matt Mosley Campbell could be available "I'd be curious to hear what Spagnuolo thought of Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell at this point. Campbell's a restricted free agent for the Skins, but I'm sure Mike Shanahan would listen to offers." Didn't see this posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolio47 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 But would they offer a 1st and 3rd rounder for Campbell, which is what I think Clayton said the Skins would tender him with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 But would they offer a 1st and 3rd rounder for Campbell, which is what I think Clayton said the Skins would tender him with? The team can tender whatever they want, doesn't mean that's what they'll get in real-time negotiations. Hell with have a hockey rink before any team gives up a first and a third for Campbell.

That can be negotiated, just because he was tendered a 1st and 3rd doesn't mean the Redskins won't take a reasonable trade offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolio47 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 That can be negotiated, just because he was tendered a 1st and 3rd doesn't mean the Redskins won't take a reasonable trade offer True but then again the Rams theoretically could give a first and third. Don't know why they would but hey, one can only hope. I feel weird saying that since I'm a Campbell supporter but if we can get anything close to that I might have to say "go for it".

twenty-eight Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Interesting. I'm sure you folks also read that they they're interested in Josh Johnson from the Bucs. They'd trade the #1 overall to TB for the 3rd overall, 3rd rd pick, & Josh Johnson. Sounds like the Rams don't want to draft a QB this year....or maybe thats their smokescreen....:whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurgeh Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 The team can tender whatever they want, doesn't mean that's what they'll get in real-time negotiations. Hell with have a hockey rink before any team gives up a first and a third for Campbell. I could see a swap of first round picks to guarantee Shanahan gets the guy he wants, assuming the organisation is sold on Bradford. A simple swap would rate Campbell as the 12th selection. I assume this would mean we'd also have to pick up another veteran to start the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 All pure speculation based on the Rams showing a strong desire to get a QB and looking around at who maybe can offer them a QB. First it was that they were in the drivers seat to get Vick, until Philly screwed that up by saying that they weren't in a hurry to trade him. The focus now has gone to Tampa and Josh Johnson. Now someone is turning their glances at Campbell. The thing is, I don't see the Redskins making a deal unless they are getting good value for him (multiple picks). To be honest, Campbell is more valuable to us on the team than off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HAMMER'IN HOG Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yea the X-DC of the Giants who dominated JC will offer up picks for JC? I also believe in the Easter Bunny, and Santa Clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdarugar Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 If this went down I would like at least a 3rd round pick for Campbell...or a 3rd and a player or 2011 draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 To be honest, Campbell is more valuable to us on the team than off. That opinion is not supported by any facts. In fact the opposite is true based on his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty-eight Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 why do they need a smokescreen when they draft #1 overall? Longshot just threw all the different scenarios that we've heard about the Rams out there. Maybe they want people to think they don't want to draft a QB, so someone (like the Bucs...)will trade up to the #1 overall to get the guy they want (because he won't be there at 3...?) Then they still get the QB they wanted at the 3 Ultimately want to acquire top value for that first overall pick if they decide to deal it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, Campbell is more valuable to us on the team than off. Well if we could trade him within the division with a guarentee that he starts both games against us for the next 3 years how can we lose? I would throw in the TE of their choosing for a deal like that. Good value for JC? = A bag of balls, case of Gatorade, or a box of new pom poms for the cheerleaders, maybe Allen can step up and show off his ability to make the shrewd deal and bring back all 3?

holmester Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think the Rams are just leaking this info to strengthen their hand in negotiations with the Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 So there actually IS a team out there dumber than us? Have the Rams covertly employed ol' bug eyes with nobody realising? Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregpeck99 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 To be honest, Campbell is more valuable to us on the team than off. Not sure that view is shared by B/M/K. If Skins had interest they would have started contract negotiations to extend. I would be surprised if Spagnola would pay a Campbell over a Bulger.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 im just not sure the rams are ready to draft a QB with their defense being that terrible. if they gamble on a QB and fail, not only will their offense be terrible, their defense will be even worse. with us at least we have at minimum a very solid defense to fall back on in case our offense chokes. hell, weve been relying on our defense to keep us mediocre for years so its time for us to at least gamble on trying to find a QB. the rams are better off taking campbell, who can take a beating, hand off to steven jackson, and be a nice enough guy in the media that the fan base wont completely lambast him, all the while they fix the defense, then go after a real QB when theyre ready. and i think everyone can agree that campbell is an upgrade over kyle boller lol.

This is the only reason the Rams may consider Jason Campbell. Trade for him and sign him to a modest 3-year deal while building the team for their true franchise QB that will be found later.

I would be surprised if Spagnola would pay a Campbell over a Bulger. Why should they? Campbell is going to be a RFA. They have plenty time to decide if he's going to be the long-term answer at QB. Also, I think some let their irrational hate of Campbell blind them to the fact that Campbell is a solid QB in a location where we haven't had a decent offense in over 10 years. A solid QB should be worth more than a ham sandwich, particularly since it isn't likely that anyone else that we could possibly start next year will be better than Campbell. Let me say this: The current rumor with the Rams (trade 1st rounders with Tampa for Josh Johnson and a 3rd rounder) basically values Johnson as a 2nd round pick. Based on what I saw of Johnson, I'd value Campbell higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Uhg. I was hoping for a Rams trade but I had forgotten that Spags was their HC. I just don't see Spags looking back at a QB who never beat his defense and saying to himself "we've got to get this guy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see Spags looking back at a QB who never beat his defense and saying to himself "we've got to get this guy". good point as well, but honestly, the rams dont have much choice. spags needs to think about keephing his job and with new ownership thatll be tough to do if they dont show some signs of life (winning 5 games). spags either drafts a QB and puts all the marbles in one basket, takes his chances with kyle boller, or trades a low pick for campbell and really tries to rebuild that defense around a guy like suh or mccoy.

A simple swap would rate Campbell as the 12th selection. I assume this would mean we'd also have to pick up another veteran to start the year. We're getting ripped off if we give up JC just to move up to number 1. The probability of a QB going in the top 3 picks is slim so not sure why we do this.
