DKW 86 7,440 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Link WTG JC! The team reached a contract agreement in principle with quarterback Jason Campbell, the 25th player chosen overall in the 2005 draft and the latter of the team's two choices in the first round.The five-year contract will be reviewed on Tuesday and, barring any complications, the former Auburn star will sign it then. Financial details were not yet available, but the deal likely includes a maximum value in the $25 million range. It is structured in a way that will protect the Redskins but also Campbell, in the event he becomes the starter. For now, Campbell will go to camp behind starter Patrick Ramsey and No. 2 quarterback Mark Brunell and will almost certainly be groomed for the future. There is a chance that Campbell could play some as a rookie, since the Washington personnel staff regard him so highly. Campbell, 23, was a four-year starter at Auburn and, despite playing in different styles and under a variety of coordinators, demonstrated improvement every season. He was among the nation's leaders in mostly every significant passing category in 2004. For his career, Campbell completed 552-of-854 passes for 7,299 yards, with 45 touchdown passes and 24 interceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUesquire 1 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I know Jason hasn't thrown a pass in an NFL game and it's just part of the process, but he doesn't need to be listed as #3 behind Mark Brunell at any point in his career. Brunell is BRUTAL. Go JC!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
