This is the first time I'm hearing this, so maybe I'm behind. I was under the assumption that the Jags were doing Campbell a "favor" which i guess trading him to the Ravens kinda is, but in a case like this wouldn't you think they would of gave him a heads up about it? Hell, if you are doing him a favor, wouldn't you go to him and see what teams he would like to join? I'm willing to bet there would of been plenty of teams willing to give a 5th for Campbell. 

After hearing this, it legitimately makes me feel like they were just pushing him out to tank on purpose this year. Why would you push someone like him out for a 5th if you intended to compete? This just doesn't sit well with me.

NFL teams are not just going to give up picks.

Lots of teams probably expected the Jags to have to cut Campbell due to the cap. That would let them (other teams) could sign him to a cheaper deal with less cap hit in year 1 and without giving up a pick.

The Ravens gave up the pick to basically have first dibs. 

Seriously, if there is one job that DC has generally been above average at, it is getting some return for guys he will have to cut anyways. Well, after the year 1 purge.
