<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>BATON ROUGE, La. ? Where will JaMarcus Russell land? It's still too early to tell, but the trade whispers have started to circulate around the potential No. 1 pick in the draft. A prominent one has the Washington Redskins taking a keen interest. According to a source with intimate knowledge of the situation, Redskins owner Dan Snyder has become enamored with the idea of drafting Russell, which has in turn fueled speculation Washington could be targeting Oakland's No. 1 pick in a trade scenario. The trade could involve Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell, the team's first-round pick in 2005, getting dealt to another team, or to the Raiders as part of a package to move up in the draft. Russell has impressed the Raiders thus far, both with his skills set and his quiet-but-confident demeanor, which the team got to see over dinner at Ruffino's Italian Restaurant on Tuesday night in Baton Rouge. But coach Lane Kiffin insisted Wednesday Oakland was going to explore trading the No. 1 pick. As it stands, Russell is set to take visits for personal workouts with Oakland, Washington, the Detroit Lions and Cleveland. If Washington were to be involved in a trade with the Raiders, a move to the top choice would likely cost the Redskins a healthy package of picks and possibly players. And it's worth noting Washington doesn't have a second-round pick this year to use for ammunition, having already dealt that choice away to the New York Jets (who sent the pick to the Chicago Bears as part of the Thomas Jones deal). ?

I dont want this to happen, at all. I will stop rooting for the Redskins if it does, and mark my words on that.

But the Redskins already have a young quarterback in two-year veteran and former first-round choice Jason Campbell, and Campbell is expected to be their long-term starter.That raises questions about the Washington brass' motive in arranging a visit with Russell.The Redskins own the sixth overall selection in the first round and, during the NFL meetings here earlier this week, spoke with other teams about the possibilities of moving up or down from that slot. The Redskins have formally offered the pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs and the 31st overall pick.The meeting with Russell might be little more than due diligence on the part of the Redskins, in the event he somehow falls to their spot. It may be a ruse meant to stir other teams to perhaps deal with Washington, which seems to want to move out of the No. 6 slot. Or, it could represent legitimate interest in Russell -- whose recent campus workout was impressive -- and possible unrest with Campbell.Campbell, 25, started the final seven games of the 2006 season after not taking a single snap in his 2005 rookie campaign.

No, they are, but do you have any idea how much it pisses me off that they only wrote this to make fun of Washingon? Like every player in the draft meets with every team, and a lot of teams do that as a strategical trick so they can acquire more picks.
