Title: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: raptorsfan29 on October 18, 2011, 11:05:23 am for 2 first round picks, 2012 and conditional 2013.
Looks like Carson finally got his wish and got traded from cincy. Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: Phishfan on October 18, 2011, 11:08:11 am I wonder how much Palmer has been practicing. This late in the season I bet he thought for sure he was not going anywhere. I certainly did. That seems like a lot to give up at this stage but it is the Raiders (even with Al Davis gone it appears).
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on October 18, 2011, 01:37:16 pm So Oakland won't have a draft pick until the third round in 2012.
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on October 18, 2011, 01:45:51 pm correction: they won't be picking until the 5th round.
1st round pick: to Cinci for Palmer, a QB 2nd round pick: to NE 3rd round pick: used in supplemental draft to get Terrelle Pryor, a QB 4th round pick: to Washington for Campbell, a QB Wow. Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: Thundergod on October 18, 2011, 02:38:18 pm Jesus, for Carson Palmer??? That sure as hell deserves a WTF.
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: Pappy13 on October 18, 2011, 02:58:05 pm What was that about Mike Brown never giving up the rights to Palmer again?
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on October 18, 2011, 03:19:07 pm I like Palmer so good for the Raiders. He is light years ahead of Boller and Pryor. I am sure Campbell will be finding a new location next season as well if they keep Carson ( I have no idea how long his contract is).
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: CF DolFan on October 18, 2011, 03:21:50 pm I would have made this trade if I was Mike Brown. From getting nothing to getting two first rounders. that's a no brainer to me.
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: masterfins on October 18, 2011, 04:05:25 pm Wow, great deal for Cincy. Cincy has the picks to trade for Luck if they want.
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: mecadonzilla on October 18, 2011, 04:23:22 pm I think Cincy is happy with Dalton (who they drafted in the first round this year). Why would they draft Luck? Our competition is with Indy or KC right now.
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: MikeO on October 18, 2011, 08:26:33 pm Raiders have a chance to WIN NOW. They are going for it. Don't fault them for that. This wasn't planned, if Campbell doesn't go down they aren't forced into this trade. Raiders are lucky Campbell got hurt last week and not this week. Otherwise their season would be over with Kyle Boller
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: Sunstroke on October 18, 2011, 09:21:17 pm Wow, great deal for Cincy. Cincy has the picks to trade for Luck if they want. In case you haven't checked out the Bengals this year, they are extremely happy with their rookie QB, Andy Dalton. I imagine that packaging their first rounders to move up for Luck is the furthest thing from their mind. Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: mecadonzilla on October 18, 2011, 09:53:08 pm It's definitely a win now strategy for the Raiders. They will likely be devastated for years to come because of the lack of draft picks in 2012 and 2013. They REALLY overpaid for Carson.
Great move for Cincy, though. Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: masterfins on October 18, 2011, 10:23:40 pm Note: The Raiders passed on Garrard because he needs back surgery, and they passed on Orton because they didn't think he was even worth a 4th rounder.
Title: Re: Carson Palmer traded to Raiders Post by: jtex316 on October 19, 2011, 08:29:09 pm What makes Carson Palmer good to begin with? He's a fat bum who's never won a playoff game.
