ASHBURN, Va. — After an unhappy training camp with the Jets, Pete Kendall got what he wanted: A new team and a new contract.

The Washington Redskins acquired the veteran offensive lineman yesterday from the Jets in a trade, hoping he’ll fill a hole at left guard.

New York will receive a fifth-round pick in 2008 or a fourth-rounder in 2009, depending on how many snaps Kendall plays this season. The Redskins also did what New York wouldn’t — give Kendall a raise of $1 million, boosting his salary this year to $2.7 million — as part of a new, two-year $5 million contract.

“It’s exciting to me, and it’s a relief, too,” Kendall said at Redskins Park after taking a physical, “to have what was hanging over me over with now.”

It’s a trade the Jets had to make, and one the Redskins had hoped to avoid. Kendall had asked to be traded or released because New York wouldn’t renegotiate his contract, and his frustration was evident daily in his body language on the training camp practice field — where he stood far from his teammates while the first-team offense practiced.

“We were really comfortable with the trade and the value that we got in the trade,” Jets coach Eric Mangini said. “When this opportunity presented itself, we thought it was a good opportunity and, as always, we’re trying to make the best decisions to help the team win.”

For the Redskins, the trade ends coach Joe Gibbs’ unusually frugal effort to replace Derrick Dockery, who signed a huge contract with Buffalo as an unrestricted free agent in the spring. Gibbs’ first option was to talk Todd Wade — a career tackle — into re-signing and moving to guard, but Wade struggled at training camp before hurting his shoulder in the first preseason game.

“I’m not totally surprised,” said Wade, who expects to become a backup tackle again.
