Jason Campbell for Jay Cutler: The Redskins and Broncos Discuss a Swap

brandon LamApr 2, 2009

The Washington Redskins have been the most aggressive in free agency this offseason, bringing in Albert Hanseworth for the $100 million and signing DeAngelo Hall for $54 million.

Now, owner Daniel Snyder is pushing for a trade in an attempt to finally solve the team's decades-long pursuit of a franchise quarterback.

The Denver Broncos have also had some issues with their franchise quarterback, Jay Cutler.

When he was hired this offseason, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels showed interest in bringing in someone familiar with his offense: Matt Cassel.

After word got around that the team was trying to replace him, Cutler became frustrated asked for a trade. Denver granted Cutler his wish by putting him on the trade block, but will only accept a good young quarterback in return.

It seems the needs of the Redskins and those of the Broncos are perfectly matched.

The Redskins could land Cutler and send back starting quarterback Jason Campbell to Denver.

Campbell, who led his team to a 6-2 record in its first eight games, was blamed for not making the playoffs, despite his offensive line breaking down in the second half of the season.

This trade makes sense for both teams. Redskins coach Jim Zorn runs the West Coast offense, a scheme Cutler learned playing under former coach Mike Shanahan.

Denver, in turn, would be getting a good young quarterback in Campbell, who should strive under McDaniels after failing to grasp the West Coast offense under Zorn.

According to several sources, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and director of player personnel Vinny Cerato are currently discussing the trade with the Denver brass.
