dfbovey Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=5077455 Interesting that he thinks the most likely situation is Campbell being traded to the Raiders. Makes some good points regarding his fate being tied to what happens with Clausen on draft day. Jimmy Clausen's pro day last Friday might have settled questions about whether he's a top-10 prospect.Clausen threw well enough to be a top-10 pick, but figuring out where he'll go means figuring out how much appeal Redskins QB Jason Campbell has on the trade market. Any questions? Have a question for John Clayton? Connect with him here. Campbell went from being the Redskins' starter to a draft-day trade candidate when the Redskins acquired Donovan McNabb. To help the trade process, Campbell plans to sign his one-year restricted free-agent tender this week to help a trade happen. Campbell has two main hopes -- Oakland or Buffalo -- although he'd prefer if something could be done to get him to Carolina. Unfortunately for him, the Panthers don't appear to be interested. From the Redskins' standpoint, coach Mike Shanahan met with Campbell and was honest. Shanahan told Campbell he would try to accommodate him in a trade that benefits both parties. He gave Campbell the ability to shop around, too. The timing of the McNabb deal held back any quick solution for Campbell. You can see how this is going to go. Campbell will watch the Clausen situation closely. If the Bills take Clausen at No. 9, Campbell will likely have to wait until Saturday, April 24, with hopes that the Redskins deal him to the Raiders as part of a draft-day trade. The Bills, meanwhile, could factor Campbell's availability into what they do at quarterback. The cost of Campbell won't be more than a lower-round pick, a bargain for a starting quarterback. That could give the Bills the luxury of taking a Colt McCoy or a Tim Tebow and still getting Campbell as a starting quarterback to buy time for their future QB's development. Still, odds favor Campbell ending up in Oakland, where he could work with new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibbsFactor Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Oakland's second for a starting QB isn't that bad of a deal. Come on Al. This dude can play!

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Can someone tell Al Davis we have a QB who runs a sub 4.30 40 already? That little, uhmmm, "elaboration" should do it. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Was there ever any mileage in the Donte Whitner stories several weeks ago. Wasn't he linked with us prior to FA or was that total BS at the time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Oakland and Hue Jackson is where I think he'll end. Wasn't Hue Jackson the OC under Spurrier, or atleast the person given the title of OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob the Raiders blind, then watch Al keel over for good when JC immediately checks down on third and long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Consigliere Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Classic Is it just me or is this sounding more and more like we're looking like Patrick Ramsey level compensation. To get more than a 4th would probably be tremendous which really, really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhouse Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The Professor is one of the few I respect. Even his speculations are well thought out. In any case, I like the fact that Clausen's stock is rising and that Seattle, Cleavland, Oakland and Buffalo would be tempted to take him. If and when one of those teams take him, the other 3 would be left with McCoy and Tebow. At that point they're going to have to consider trading for JC.

Zhouse Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to be traded to the Raiders. I'm a minority but I actually think they're not as bad as we and the media make em' out to be. They're bad but not that bad. I like JC and I hope he ends up in Oakland rather than Buffalo. Bad management in Oakland but they're also in their downturn cycle (since Rich Gannon left). I think they can turn it around in 2010 (around 500 team) with an okay QB like Campbell and a good/lucky draft this year. Just slip Al Davis some sleeping meds on draft day and follow Kiper's mock draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live out here in the east bay, and there are billboards, purchased by Raider Nation online fans like us, urging Davis to get a real GM, etc. Every Raider fan I know is completely embarrassed by the franchise. Sad, given how legendary they used to be before Al Davis started going senile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
