Jason Campbell to Oakland Raiders moves Jamarcus Russell

New York, NY - Jason Campbell goes to the Oakland Raiders, who picked up his contract and added a year, according to ESPN. Campbell moves Jamarcus Russell to second starter or third as the Raiders head into training came.

The Raiders move also mates Jason Campbell with Oakland Raiders Offensive Coordinator Hue Jackson, who developed Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Joe Flacco into one of the NFL's most dangerous passers in his first year of play.

Jason Campbell wasn't promised the starting job at Oakland, but with Hue Jackson installing a new offense, neither Jamarcus Russell or quarterbacks Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Boller,or Charlie Frye has a true advantage over him.

Meanwhile the Oakland Raiders are suddenly wealthy at quarterback.

What Jason Campbell brings to the Oakland Raiders is a Jamarcus Russell-level arm, great mobility, excellent pocket presence and experience. But Campbell's also essentially going into his ninth different offensive system and 10th offensive coordinator. With questions about his work ethic, starting for the Raiders is no guarantee.

Jason Campbell's got to compete for the role.
