Carson Palmer To The Raiders For 2X 1St Round Picks (Merge)

[SilentHill]

I heard it's pretty much a done deal, and if I'm Cinny I jump ALL over this.

Al Davis is dead and they still want to trade away 2 first round picks.. amazingly dumb

[GoDeep]

They are in win now mode.

[Happy2BeHere]

I think this is an incredibly bad move. I wouldn't trade more than a 2nd round pick for Carson...this is seriously a bad bad move IMO. Glad I don't have to make these decisions

[Andy]

Wow the Raiders got screwed over. You don't give up a first round pick for a one year starter...

[P-Money]

I thought since Al died the dumb decisions would be past this team. Maybe Al wasn't the one making the decisions we all made fun of. Sorry Al for falsely accusing you of being detrimental to your team. Obviously that person is still alive!!!

[ruksak]

Acquiring Palmer is good, the price.......? Too high, way too high. Wow. Only a championship would justify this move.

[Balzer40]

For 2 1st rd. Picks. 1 in 2012 and a conditional 1st in 2013.

If Carson commands two 1st rounders, I cant even imagine what Luck or Peyton would command to get him. I would love to entertain trade offers if we ended up with Luck.

according to nfl.com it's only 1 first round pick

The Raiders are expected to agree to a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals that would send quarterback Carson Palmer to Oakland for a 2012 first-round draft pick

The other pick is a 2nd rder that could be a 1st rder. Its a conditional pick.

Luck is unproven though. He has no NFL experience. The Julio Jones trade would probably be more indicative, as it was all within the draft.

The Bengals have traded quarterback Carson Palmer to the Raiders for a first-round pick in 2012, and a conditional first-round pick in 2013, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

News of the potential trade was first broken by Jay Glazer of FOX. Glazer reports that the 2013 pick is a second-round selection that can become a first-round pick

Like Carson is "proven"...sure he can play, but he's no Brady, Manning, Rodgers, etc...

[patsallday]

wow.

is al davis still making the decisions there?

joking aside, i feel bad for jason campbell. he's played pretty well for that franchise and now it seems they're just gonna run with palmer.

[oldunclemark]

Later today..they'll trade for Ochocinco.. :scared:

[pacolts56]

Look at the freakin' Bengals!

First they draft AJ Green and Dalton....then they dump both their WR locker room cancers....they're #1 on defense....then they get this deal?

Jeeez...maybe Cincinnati has more to get excited about now than Skyline chili.

When I first read it prior to the update there wasn't a mention of the conditional second pick so that's what I was unsure of.

[Mouthfire]

Wow... Talk about overpaying for a QB on the downslide if his career.

Who knows, though? Maybe the problem was the Bengals and not Carson.

[GoGoColts]

It's probably a mistake to trade him for first round pick, but if he plays great, he would be worth every bit of those two picks.

[Thewholefnshow28]

That was my first thought that went through my head. Are we sure Al Davis is dead because this move smells of him.

Giving up potential two first round picks for a guy who has not been good in years?

There is absolutely no reason why Palmer should have even warranted one first round pick.

Raiders must have just panicked since Garrard could not be signed.

[gspdx]

Is Kerry Collins available? We should have traded him for a first rounder!

great line I needed the laugh

No one is. But Luck isn't even a Palmer yet.

[super8todd]

No one is. But Luck isn't even a Palmer yet.

facepalm. Luck is a young talented 'predicted second coming' of John Elway. And Palmer is a proven downhill overaged QB that has medical issues. Yeah, good point McDoogansquest.
