Go ahead and check every single article on the subject. There is never a quote from JC or his agent. There is never any proof given. Every article simply recycled a bogus report from NFL Network (good job Steve Wyche)

Well, I would think that the Campbell camp would be up in arms about articles like this then:

Washington Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell has made it clear to the franchise: if they continue to pursue a successor or a replacement for him, then he's going to request a trade.

Maybe you are right, but I would think he actually did say it since he's not pissed off about it.

Please find me an exact quote from Jason or his agent, not an attribution of words that he may or may not have said.

And you are forgetting that VC could have said to Steve Wyche, "Guess what Jason told me this morning..." even though JC said nothing.

Oh yeah, don't forget that JC may have been in on the whole thing, so he would not have been pissed by anything (including possibly bogus Cutler trade talks, by the way).

If this is true, I need to give the FO a standing ovation. What a snow job they did on everyone, including me.

About your previous post, well, like the quote I provided, as a reporter, you can't report something that is untrue. You haven't provided any proof of Campbell refuting it, therefore you must assume it is correct until proven otherwise.

All in all, I suppose it doesn't really matter. We got who I REALLY wanted in Orakpo, and nothing is going to change that. Don't care how it happened, just that it did. I'm thrilled!

What? Have you heard that Raji failed his drug test?

If Campbell was in on the ploy, OF COURSE he did not refute it.

Exactly my point earlier, he had his poker face on.

I think thats kind of weak logic. Let's say JC didn't say it, I would think the following reactions would be most likely:
1) go to Zorn and say "Hey, I don't know where that quote came from" and Zorn would smooth it with the FO

2) think, hmm I do feel that way, so I will just let it linger out there and not comment.

In no way would I think, given his less than out spoken nature, that he would respond with an angry rebuttal that he was falsely quoted.

Yes. It has been pointed out before that it would be quite out of character for JC to be demanding a trade that way, especially when his "competition" had not even been drafted yet!

The campbell camp has seen football players before and known the business
