Carson Palmer unwilling to restructure?
 

Word on the street is that Palmer is not open to restructuring his contract. I predict he'll go somewhere like Arizona. McKenzie may draft a QB this year after all. Unless said QB really impresses I'd expect Pryor to start next year.

Not a **** was given...

Well good luck with that

Really? This says to me the Raiders may draft a QB now.

He knows he is not highly wanted anymore but still does not want to stay in the black hole.

exactly. Which means if someone values geno, like the people on this board do, then a sweet trade may be a coming.

Here's the thing, no one seriously looks at CP as any kind of longterm QB answer. I don't believe this changes the Raiders QB draft plans one iota. I could be wrong, but i believe the Raiders have been interested in Geno since the word go...

Damn the Raiders are going to get Matt Barkley and its going to haunt us for the next decade.

I'm going to build a statue, in honor of our quarterback...who was also a statue.

ROFL

So you traded a 1st and a 2nd for a season and a half of shifty QBing. Sweet.

and the hits just keep on coming

Whats the story with this guy? On paper, his stats look good from last season and actually are decent taken as a career whole.


But then you look at his record as a starter and he blows. 54-67 overall.

IM guessing he never performs in crunch time or cant ever get a lead? Only a garbage time QB.

Who?

What a train wreck of an organization. 1st and 2nd for 7 wins and a bunch of empty yards. Heading into a season with Terrel Pryor as the QB would be even more gold.

I know right! They only beat us twice last year! What a joke of an organization!

Pryor showed a ton of poise in the game he started for them last year and I've read that he has an excellent work ethic. Still a project, but very intriguing prospect, IMO.

Cassel Quinn

You forgot Alex Smith

I don't like the trade, but please don't compare him to those sacks of shit. We upgraded the QB position no question, it's just a matter of is it enough?

I don't see the Raiders drafting Geno, since they already have a project QB in Pryror and a shit ton of holes to fill everywhere on the team.

**** the Broncos, but I'd actually like to see the Raiders and Chargers become respectable and bring the AFC West back to being a feared division.

Father Time is going to hit the Donks like a bitch. By playoff time Peydaton's wobble launcher was on empty. He better reload on stem cells and HGH this offseason again.

True, although even the Arizona QBs or even Buttfumble probably would've been an upgrade to those asshats.

sort of a big deal

If the Faiders do cut Palmer then teams will have to assume the the Faiders will go Quarterback in the draft at 1.3. That cuts down the teams they have to work with on a trade up to the Jags and Chiefs.

more value for us

Raiders already have a young prospect qb. Additionally, Carson Palmer is a starting QB. Other than his phillip rivers-esque ability to throw pick sixes late in games, he's probably better than Alex Smith in most categories.

Palmer being released gives teams another option to trading up to draft a QB.

you really think the faiders are going into the season with Terrelle Pryor as their starting QB?

You really think all the other teams in the NFL can count on the Faiders doing that?

With what they gave up for Palmer, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they started a 10 gallon hat at qb.

Pryor's been there 3 years, started a game last year, and didn't cassel himself in it. He's basically an advanced rookie. He's a mobile qb at the height of the mobile qb era of the nfl.

I just don't see how him starting at QB would be any different from a rookie starting there.

Depends on how good the think Pryor is but i think it's bad business to allow mistakes made in the past to force bad decisions in the future.

whatever screwed up stuff happened because of Palmer can't stop you from making proper player evaluations now

who gives a F .....

Nope, we only sign other teams back ups.

I actually agree with this, and as such, am holding on to the ridiculous hope that we still draft geno, despite picking up alex smith.

I still think saying the raiders need to draft a qb in the first round is like everybody saying the chiefs need a LT first overall. Just as our Oline was the least of our worries, the Raiders seemed to have far bigger problems than bad QB play.

it could have a big effect on our draft so .... umm ... we do.

Has there ever been a more difficult player in the NFL to do contracts with than Carson Palmer?

So how much money have the chiefs spent since the last playoff or superbowl win...
And now the legacy continues with Alex Smiff

That's what I thought
LMAO:p

No you didn't... You got the same damn QB you got rid of

PFF disagrees big time

Jamarcus, come on back!

Chiefs are a 9-10 win team with even average QB play. Alex can give them that. He's certainly much better than having the worst QB play in the league like they've had the last 2 seasons. Any more under Reid's tuteledge and look out.

Palmer is awful

Been saying that for years now.

Says the fan of a Chiefs team that just traded x2 picks for Alex Smith.
:D

The Raiders may have made worse personnel moves than the Chiefs. Hard to believe.

Not with Alex, he is the same damn qb that Cassel is... Hell cassel may even be a little bit better

[/B][/B]Fat, drunk & stupid is no way to go through life....

And I've been saying it before you...

Yes, and the Raiders made a smart trade with Cincy for Palmer...

Our mistake is almost over and yours is just beginning LMAO

Smifferception!

Your team is less than 2 yrs from losing a 1st rd pick. It's not almost over.

But But But you have a first round pick every year and suck every year so who cares... Take a chance and live a little

A 1st and a 2nd on a 33 yr old QB is taking a chance?

He was worth a 1st and a 2nd more than Alex is worth 2 2nds..

Also, I do not support the trade for Smith. YOU were all for trading for Palmer.

Dumbass.

:LOL: Okay

Hell yea, Palmer is a 4k yard a year QB... Palmer is better than any QB the Chiefs have had since Montana (Not counting Gannon because you all were too dumb to recognize talent)

Palmer was not better than Green.

Stop trolling.

trINT Green? Are you ****ing kidding? LMAO

LMAO ****ing moron. Palmer has more career INTs.

Both guys have 3, 4000 yard seasons. Green threw for 4500 yards in one season. Palmer never did that.

Did trint ever go to the playoffs?

03 and 06

No play-off wins, but that was mostly due to shitty defense.

Oh BullShit.... trINT Had nothing but a lot of empty yards at garbage time

Trololol

I gotta go to work, don't be typing any dumb shit while I am gone.

Didn't they give up a 1st for Seymour, too?


LMAO

Or take a kicker at #17. Even if the crazy bastard could be a HOFer.

Even as good as Janikowski is, I STILL would never use a 1st on him.

Waste of a 1st rd pick.

The number of games that polock has won is probably scary as hell.

None of which were SBs. Still a wasted pick.

No. Until proven otherwise, Oakland is still the place where players go to die. New, old or indifferent.

Yep. Looks like it was the 1st rd pick in 2011 17th overall that the Pats spent on Nate Solder.

I'd take Janikowski over Tyson Jackson, Glenn Dorsey, or Jon Baldwin.

Just in time for that new wave Pass-option thingy. :hmmm:

Screw that! I'd rather be like the AFC East and the Pats and crush everyone else every season.

Yep. Plus it's a divisional rival since like forever!

None of these guys win championships.

Using a high pick on a kicker is just plain stupid.

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

Being a janitor is nothing to be ashamed of, be proud.

Don't worry...Matt Flynn is on the way!!!

Think the Bills would try to push for him.
