Jets trade Kendall to Redskins for 5th round pick

NFL.com Wire Reports


HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- The New York Jets have traded disgruntled left guard Pete Kendall to the Washington Redskins for a conditional draft pick.

The NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Kendall has passed his physical, allowing the deal to be completed and that Kendall, 34, has signed a new two-year contract with the Redskins.

The Jets will receive Washington's fifth-round pick in the 2008 draft. However, the pick changes to a fourth-rounder in 2009 if Kendall participates in 80 percent of the Redskins' offensive plays, a source told Schefter.

"This was a good opportunity and I think everyone that was involved benefits from this," Jets head coach Eric Mangini said Thursday morning. "Pete and I had a great conversation last night, and I wished him the best."

Kendall, in his 12th season, was lauded by Mangini last season for helping left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold develop as rookies. But things soured in the offseason when Kendall asked for a $1 million raise on his $1.7 million salary. When that wasn't granted, Kendall made repeated requests to be traded or released.

Kendall figures to be the starting left guard for the Redskins, something it didn't appear he would be with the Jets this season. The 34-year-old Kendall worked mostly with the second-team offense as Adrien Clarke and sixth-round pick Jacob Bender -- normally a tackle -- have practiced at the position.

The deal also solves a big question mark for the Redskins, who needed to replace left guard Derrick Dockery, who signed with Buffalo as an unrestricted free agent this spring.

Washington first tried Todd Wade -- a tackle his entire career -- at guard before he injured a shoulder in the first preseason game. Mike Pucillo, mostly a backup in his four NFL seasons, was recently working with the first-team offense.

Information from the Associated Press was included in this report.

That sounds like a good move for both teams.

Sounds like a better move by the Skins IMO - Kendall is worth a 4th rounder if he plays another 3 years.

I believe that's Rock Cartwright.

Anyways, this leaves the Redskins with 6 other draft picks to get rid of, doesn't it?

It's Sellers

hail2theReds

best thing ive ever seen sellers do

Sellers is one of my favorite players in the league. Dude is just looking to kill someone every down. No talk about his personal stats, never complains about how many balls come his way, he just grinds it out and looks put anyone wearing the other teams jersey in the dirt.

Great move for the Skins if he can help sure up the interior.
