Redskins tender Campbell at first-round level Posted by Michael David Smith on March 3, 2010 3:37 PM ET

The Washington Redskins have placed the first-round tender on quarterback Jason Campbell, Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting.

The decision of new Redskins coach Mike Shanahan to put the first-round tender, rather than the first- and third-round tender, indicates that he's open to moving on without the quarterback the Redskins chose in the first round of the 2005 draft.

If a team signs Campbell to an offer sheet, the Redskins would have seven days to match the offer or take the other team's first-round draft pick as compensation.

The first-round tender for most players with five seasons of experience is a one-year offer at a salary of $2.621 million, but Campbell's tender is for just over $3.1 million because a tender offer has to be for at least 110% of a player's 2009 base salary.

For those of you who were willing to part with a draft pick because Campbell has experience and has thrown for 3k plus yards the past 2 seasons. I ask you now, would you still? I know my simple answer has always been and always will be, Hell No!

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

bad play by the redskins

If they decide to choose a QB in first round. They could have ended up with a mid to high pick in the 2 round.

You need to link direct articles like this otherwise it’s considered plagarism. This would make a great fanshot.

"cautious"

I mean… I can see why to have the link, just for the readers’ sake, and so it is proof of the above statements, but to think that plagarism would be involved is far fetched don’t you think

actually, if anything, it might constitute a copy right infringement, I think. Florio is a lawyer, go ahead and ask him. lol. I’m sure they (PFT) expect there to be a link to the site if their story is referenced. Web traffic is how they pay the bills and the reason for the blog in the first place.

most of my posts get deleted :(

Exactly. It’s copyright infringement to post it without a link.

come on Hambone

For those of you who were willing to part with a draft pick because Campbell has experience and has thrown for 3k plus yards the past 2 seasons. I ask you now, would you still? I know my simple answer has always been and always will be, Hell No!

Whats next are you going to stick your tongue out and wiggle your fingers by your ears? That little comment was not necessary as nobody ever argued giving up pick 9 for him, ever.

As for the news, doesnt this only mean Shanahan is preventing Campbell from leaving in free agency for nothing? He could still want to trade him later for a different, lower pick.

I hope to God, Shanahan keeps Campbell, that increases our hopes of getting Bradford.

If that happens

I would faint for the first and probably only time in my life. Or I would have a seizure. Or whatever happens when your brain cant comprehend what you’ve just seen.

Oh wait, thats happened before…music city miracle….a lot of broken furniture and weeks of depression…..

It could mean that. In reality it means they think he’s worth something either on their team or in a trade.
