The Washington Redskins have given up their quarterback of five years to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a fourth round player pick in the 2012 NFL draft. It has been skeptical what would happen with Campbell since the acquirement of Donovan McNabb from Philadelphia at the beginning of this month.

The trade of Jason Campbell occurred on the very last day of the NFL Draft, which lasted for three days. Originally, the Redskins had four draft picks to select but at the end of three trades, they ended up with a total of six new players to add to their football team.

Five-year veteran quarterback Jason Campbell will move to another team while Donovan McNabb takes over the starting quarterback position with the Washington Redskins as an 11-year veteran as well as a six time Pro Bowler.

As for Oakland, this trade could mean the end of JaMarcus Russell. Further, sources say that Campbell’s contract with the Raiders will provide him with $3.14 million this season with a raise up to $4.5 million for next season as well as $100,000 for a workout bonus. This information has not been confirmed for public announcement though.

Campbell was not necessarily the first prospect for the Raiders as they had first gave thought into trying to acquire Donovan McNabb as well as Ben Roethlisberger. McNabb, as previously stated and reported here on OnlineSportsBookPro, was acquired by the Redskins. As for Roethlisberger, the thought could have escaped due to his recent scandals although no charges were pressed against him.

Whatever the case may be, at the end of the day, it is Jason Campbell that traded his Washington Redskins jersey in for an Oakland Raiders jersey to play as their quarterback. He plans on helping the Raiders become a winning team and give them his all.
