ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Jason Campbell has talked about how his trade to Oakland offered a new start to his career following a disappointing five-year run in Washington.
After a long offseason of practice, training camp and preseason games, Campbell starts his tenure as Raiders starting quarterback Sunday at Tennessee against the Titans.
Campbell is trying to establish a new identity as a player in Oakland. The Raiders are trying to do the same as a team following seven straight seasons of at least 11 losses.
With former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell at the helm for most of last season, the Raiders had one of the worst offenses in the league on the way to a 5-11 finish. They were second-to-last in the league in scoring with 197 points and gained the second-fewest yards.
