Jason Campbell Declares, “I’m A Starter” Posted by He Whose Name Shall Not Be Spoken Florio on April 2, 2009, 7:07 a.m.
Amid
published reports that the Washington Redskins are trying to swing a
deal for Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler, current Redskins starter Jason
Campbell made clear Wednesday night that he has no intention to serve
as Cutler’s — or anyone’s — backup.
“
I’m a starter,” Campbell told Brett Haber of WUSA-TV, while attending a Washington Capitals hockey game.
Campbell called the Cutler situation “just a rumor,” and he
explained that the team told him when Cutler-to-D.C. rumors first
surfaced last month that Campbell was still “their guy.”
But Campbell hasn’t heard that again since the rumors/reports
intensified on Tuesday, when the Broncos officially placed Cutler on
the trading block.
The team didn’t only give Campbell assurances of his ongoing role a
couple of weeks ago. They also made their position clear to the public.
Redskins executive V.P. of football operations Vinny Cerrato told David Elfin of the
Washington Times on March 17 that Campbell “
is going to be our quarterback.”
Apparently, Cerrato forgot to add an important qualifier.
“Until early April.”
