Campbell “Mobbed” By Reporters At Golf Outing

Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell held a charity golf tournament on Monday. And given his team’s ongoing efforts to trade for his replacement, Campbell was “mobbed” by reporters, a league source tells us. Campbell spoke about the circumstances, which began with the Redskins trying to trade for former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler, and which continued more recently with an effort to get in position to draft quarterback Mark Sanchez. “It’s an awkward situation because after the Cutler deal, we did sit down and talk and then the Sanchez talk came up,” Campbell said, according to the Washington Times. “I don’t know how much of it was true. Through the whole thing, I didn’t know what was going on and what wasn’t going on. My mindset was to be prepared for both scenarios.” So how much of the Sanchez talk was true? How about all of it? Per David Elfin of the Times, V.P. of football operations Vinny Cerrato admitted that the Redskins tried to trade up for Sanchez. The next question, in our view, is whether the effort to find Campbell’s replacement will continue -- or whether the ‘Skins will simply decide to move forward with Campbell for at least the 2009 season.
