Palmer to Raiders
 

For number 1 in 2012 and conditional number 1 in 2013. I would say the Bengals absolutely crushed the Raiders with that one.

Wow, I thought Al Davis was dead.......................:zz:

:tro:

I'm sure the Redskins would welcome Jason Campbell back with open arms after he heals from the collarbone fracture.

He is worth exactly 0 #1's

It's amazing, but if they were willing to give up 2 #1 picks, I bet that they could have done much better than Carson Palmer. Not that I'm a huge fan, but you would think that Dallas would have to give that package some serious consideration for Tony Romo.

3 #1's may get you Luck instead of someone who has shown NOTHING after coming off his injury

I heard they could have gotten Orton for a 6th rounder. Not that Orton's any good, but for that price I think he plays just as well as Palmer will or very close.

Good Point about Luck, especially if it's the Colts at #1.

I wonder how the offense will react from going to a mobile QB to a guy who's like a statue back there.

There had to be much better/cheaper options out there than Palmer. Besides, what do they do with Campbell next year after giving up 2 potential #1 picks?

They can't even justify this with they want to win now line. Palmer hasn't played in 10 months, I don't care how much he has been working out and he is coming into a new system. I'm waiting for a report that this is a Sid-Finch like hoax. It is that bad a deal.

They should have went after Matt Flynn, he's one the most capable backups in the league.

Homer

Ed Orton can play!

:D hey, notice I didn't say JaMarcus!

I think I would have rather give him another chance versus giving up 2 #1's for Carson Palmer.

I would of tried to throw money at Brett Farve first before pulling off this trade, thats alot to give up on a Carson Palmer who for the most part has underachieved his whole career.

To do what? There will have to be a dozen or more starters brake down before Russell gets a call, you will probably never see him in the NFL again. I was being serious about Flynn, I think he could cut it. I think any team that realized the situation the Raiders are in would have gone after those picks, that's all they had to offer. It is a steep price to pay, but Oakland has to preserve the decent start they have and the good prospects of winning the division.

.......yea, but you have a lot of money to throw at him.

A 1st and 2nd is an unbelievable steal for the Bengals. He has been barely mediocre since Van Olhoffen took out his knee in that playoff game. Is Hue Jackson making the personal descisions in Oakland?

What are you basing the Matt Flynn talk on, the one game he played against the Pats?

There are probably a bunch of back-up's in the league now that you could have acquired for nothing more than a 3rd round pick.

It's ludicris to think that Carson Palmer might cost them 2 #1 picks. It's highway robbery.
