Raiders Trade for Carson Palmer
 

Per Rotoworld, the Raiders are close to acquiring Carson Palmer.

On my phone, so no link, but what the hell do the Raiders have left to trade?

Jay Glazer reported Raiders are gonna trade their 2012 1st rounder and another conditional pick. Good ole Al is making deals from his grave.

Here's a link:

Holy shit.

LMAO

I hope they make that trade.

This will be good for them. Might not make much sense to others...Remember how everyone laughed when they drafted thier kickers nearly a decade ago? Makes sense now. Plamer is still young enough to make them good for years to come. Just my take...

NFL.com is reporting the Raiders have contacted Todd Collins about their quarterback opening. He is reportedly not interested. Collins? Yikes. Again, it is looking more and more like backup Kyle Boller will be the Raiders’ starter with Campbell out with a broken collarbone.

UPDATE: NFL.com is reporting the Raiders will work out quarterback Todd Bouman this week. He is 39. I’m sure it’s simply as a backup. It is another indication the team is leaning toward going with Boller.

:thumb:

Conditional pick can turn into a 2013 first rounder depending on playing time lol. Two first rounders for palmer, who hasn't been good in 4 years.

You can't make this stuff up.

So they only have picks in rounds 5-7 left for the draft?

man...so that means the Raiders will only have like,...2 picks next year. I can't recall exactly what, but I want to say they'll only have a 3rd and a 6th? (Wild Ass guess)

Are we sure that didn't clone Al Davis?

Bouman played pretty well against us last year.

Holy balls. He really is the Crypt Keeper. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAA!!!

Coming off the tractor if I remember correctly.

You know you've ****ed up when you make Mike Brown look like a genius.

A 2012 first, and according to Mortenson, the conditional pick has very attainable conditions that could make it a 2013 1st.

Raiders will get good comp picks for Gallery and Asomugha but still an awful trade. Wow.

Is he the farmer that nearly kicked our ass with the Jags?

lol yes.

It's also a conditional first rounder in 2013. Regardless of the conditions, that's an enormous win of a trade for the Bengals.

ROFL 2 first rounders?

Where are those Raider trolls from last week now? Nothing to say about this??

They held out till another team got desperate for a QB. Smart move by the Bungles it would appear......Nah, I'm going with the Faid is still a really ****ing stupid organization. At least it wasn't the Pats that raped em this time.

Way to stand your ground, Mike. Way to spend all this time saying that "we're not going to let players under contract dictate where they play." Then cave.

Amazing how a couple of R1 picks move you off your principles - which is why everyone said you were a ****ing dumbass to take that stance to begin with - everyone knew you were full of shit.

this organization amazes me

holy shit...a 1st for palmer?


ROFL

Schefter reporting that trade is completed. 2012 first and 2013 conditional first.

Amazing.

ROFL

raider fan at work just ran up to me saying the same thing.

I've heard of trades like this, but where?

No, I still laugh that they took a kicker in the first round. Two 1st round picks shouldn't be given up at all, but you need to get a top QB in his prime. I wouldn't be surprised if Palmer is out of the league in three years.

This can't be true. I mean, this IS a joke, right? If true, the Bengals just raped the Raiders.

Well, it worked.

was he excited or depressed?

Prepare for 100 Raider trolls jerking off to old Palmer highlight reels saying HE'S BACK TO HIS OLD FORM BABY, JUST LIKE THE RAIDUHS

He might seem like a phony, but he hardly seems like a dumbass right now.

If it actually does net him 2 first rounders, how can you say he played it wrong. 2 ****ing 1st rounders. I'd say he played that perfectly. even if it's only 1 first rounder and anything else.

only you could come up with something to bitch about when the raiders got ****ing RAPED

Carson Palmer can't be anywhere near game shape. And he's got a bad knee. Nice to see Al Davis still screwing the pooch from the grave.

This.

Potentially 2 1st round picks for a brokedick QB!?

Wow...Bengals could be HUGE winners here.

Shoulda offered em Cassel herpty derp

Yaaaaaa! Carson

So much for your guarantee that Palmer would be out of the league in 3 years. In fact his value has never been higher. LMAO

"Yaaaaa!" Carson, after he pulls his groin and misses the last 4 weeks of the season.

Does Palmer really think the big picture is better in Oakland than it is in Cincy?

There is a difference between THAT move and this one. THIS one reeks of desperation.

This one is during a rookie salary cap that will dramatically increase the value of first round picks.

Palmer is coming in from retirement, not in football shape, in OCTOBER. At best, the Raiders get him for 9 weeks this year.

If the Raiders play well and he hits the benchmarks, they lose TWO first round picks. If not, they still lose a first and a second.

Dang.

2 firsts for a QB who has been sitting on his ass....


does this mean he's the starter over campell next year? how's that going to go over with the team...cause if they traded a first for a half a year, it's one of the most insanely stupid trades ever...


Bengals have a solid looking rookie QB and an extra first....looks to me like they raped....and meanwhile we're cycling through our 42nd backup QB since the 80's...

Oh, it's a great trade for them. Ridiculously good.

I just think it's comical that he made all those comments and then backed off.

Dude's spent the last several months spouting off about principles, then ignores his own.

Do the Raiders have any 2012 picks left after this? Mark's first major act as owner reminds me of that old pot PSA - "I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!"

They get compensatory picks for Nnamdi, I guess.

I never guaranteed he'd be out of the league in 3 years...I said he would no longer be an NFL starter.

We'll see how he pans out in Oakland...when I said that 2 years ago everyone laughed at me because no one could fathom him not being a "franchise QB" in Cincy...

the Raiders are desperate...and Carson will not be the answer.

Why? Because he's a downgrade from Jason Campbell. Palmer is not a good NFL QB. Period.

Makes no sense from the Raiders perspective.

Campbell is in the last year of his contract, he will probably never take another snap for the Raiders.

Everyone in their dog knows that Cinci is one of the worst run organizations in football. Doesn't suprise me in the slightest that he backed off his word. But damn, he'd be an absolute fool to pass on this deal!

"Everyone's Got a Price" - Ted Dibiase.

His "principles" drove the price for Carson Palmer at a 4th round pick to potentially two 1st round picks from an idiotic organization.

I'm not saying it was his intention, but the stubbornness paid off big time.

This has to be a joke. Two first rounders?

Neither was Jim Plunkett...

We should have given then cassel for a 2nd.

Raiders wouldn't pay 60 million for that slug, we just got rid of a 60 million dollar slug.

You just traded 2 firsts or a first and a second at least, for an old brokedick. Yeah, I wouldn't take bets on what your team wouldn't do.

I hope Carson comes in and starts this week...

we'll lose like 10-13, and it's just because we can't handle pressure defenses like Oakland. Cassel sucks against the blitz.

Exactly. He got a great deal.

so you're going to roll with a broke dick like Palmer?


for 2 firsts?


jesus....it's a terrible ****ing trade any way you slice it

he isn't worth a single 1st under any circumstances

Well you just paid double that for a broken statue...

Maybe this was Al Davis' death bed wish and they felt they had to honor it.

:spock: Your team just gave up 2 firsts for a guy that barely played at a Casselean level his last year.

This is just amazingly stupid

I have a buddy who went to a Cinci game last year, and said it was glaring what a noodle arm Palmer had in warmups compared to all of the other quarterbacks. This trade is insane.

Someone call up the raiders pretending to be clark and offer cassel.

On Cleveland planet:

CincyKnowmo: Hearing the Raiders are offering a first, and a conditional pick that could be another first for Palmer.

This is the kind of trade that ONLY a Cincy homer would think was fair. Well, initially. The Raiders homer will be eventually be able to rationalize it.

You know, after the Aaron Curry deal, I really thought the Radiers were wising up and were going to be a real pain to deal with for the next decade. It is nice to be wrong.

It won't be two firsts the second is a conditional which probably means he will have to be in the pro bowl for it to pay off.

Shocking though, an owner talked out of his backside. I don't blame Brown one bit. He won in a major way. He got a king's ransom for someone they moved on from.

Drafturbators should polish up their resumes. The Raiders are in need for a GM bad

ROFL It's at least a first and a second.

and his current team seems to be doing just fine without him.

Still way more than we gave up for cassel
Posted via Mobile Device

Cassell is not even in the same league as Palmer....

Reports on SportsCenter said the conditions were "extremely obtainable". Enough so that the reports all say that the compensation was "two first round picks"

Yeah, Brown lied, but unbelievable deal by the Bungles to say the least. No way anyone can spin that.
