NFL contracts escalate from year to year, so the only way it make sense to do a deal in a year before you have to is if you can trade the player his guaranteed security for a few more years at a reasonable price.

If we could get Campbell to extend his deal by two years, at say 9 million dollars total, this would be a great deal for us. But there's no reason to pay him like a Franchise QB until this time next season.
