According to latest reports, the Washington Redskins have offered restricted free agent quarterback Jason Campbell a first-round tender of about $3.1 million, that will most likely cause other teams to think more carefully about signing away the quarterback and thus the Redskins will have the chance to keep him in Redskins jersey.
Campbell has started 52 games in his five seasons with the Redskins. He has his best statistical season last year, but the team struggled and finished 4-12. New Redskins coach Mike Shanahan had said that the team would like to retain Campbell but would not guarantee him with the starting job, indicating that Campbell would have to compete for the starting job with other quarterbacks after playing as starting quarterback in Redskins jersey for the past 3 1/2 seasons.
The Redskins are expected to announce their full slate of tender offers Thursday, one day before the March 5 deadline for free agency. And Campbell, who has said that he only wants to stay as starter, still has the right to negotiate with another team but it’s unlikely that there is any team who is willing to give up a first-round pick for him.
