WASHINGTON, April 24 (UPI) -- Washington Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell confirmed Saturday he has been traded to the Oakland Raiders.
Although the Redskins did not make an official announcement, Campbell confirmed to The Washington Post he had been dealt. ESPN reported Oakland gave up a fourth-round 2012 pick for the signal-caller, who was Washington's starter for three-plus years.
"I'm just glad the situation is over and I'm moving forward," Campbell told the Post. "Sometimes change comes in your life, change comes in your career, and you've just got to be ready to adapt. I'm going to go out to Oakland and give 110 percent and do everything I can to help that organization become a winning team."
Campbell came to the Redskins with much fanfare as a first-round draft pick in 2005 but never fulfilled his promise, enduring several changes in offensive philosophy and a leaky offensive line along the way.
The Post said Campbell, a restricted free agent who earned nearly $11 million during his stint with the Redskins, has agreed to a contract that will pay him $3.14 million in 2010, plus a $100,000 workout bonus, and $4.5 million in 2011.
