Palmer to Raiders

Are the Bengals beginning to make smart front office decisions?

No way this was a planned move. No way.

The only team that would be as stubborn as Mike Brown over this Palmer thing is the Bengals. And the only team that would overpay that much for Palmer is the Raiders.

I'm betting Marvin Lewis was in the office late Sunday night and picked up the phone before Mike Brown did.

:D

Nah, this fell into their lap. Jackson called Brown. Brown said they weren't interested. Jackson said he would be willing to give enough to get them interested. Even Brown isn't dumb enough to turn this one down.

Could the Raiders bring in TJ as well?

That's a huge price to pay. I thought they had a world beater as the back-up.

He turned down two first round picks, and at least one mid-round pick from Washington, when they tried to acquire Chad Johnson.

Wow...

And the Raiders? My understanding is that they already traded off like a 3,4,5, and 7. Now their 1 is gone? They better hope Carson seals the deal for them for the next 3-4 years. They only have a #2 in the 2012 draft apparently.

I think they only have a 5 & 6.

Christmas came early this year in Cincinnati. Dalton is here only because Carson quit on us. We have a really good young team and getting these picks has everybody talking. I don't hate Palmer and I wish him well. He is a class guy.

I have never been a Mike Brown fan, but he played this one perfect.

Hi to all of the Sun guys and thanks for inviting me to come over here. It's gonna be a fun season after all.

The future sure is bright in Cincy. Welcome to the board.

I honestly don't think he cared where he went just as long it wasn't in Cinci.

Well, this is a good move for Carson Palmer for a couple of reasons.

1 - this team has one of the best young RB's in the game and a good OL to boot.

2 - he knows Hue Jackson and won't take very long getting accustomed to his offense.

The only big issue to me is that the Raiders' receivers are really inexperienced and not consistent.
