• slcoach

  2 1st Rounders for Carson.... Christmas came early!
• georgemc80

  The man died, but they still make terrible football decisions.

  What are the Raiders thinking? I wouldn't give up a 3rd rounder for that guy

  The fleecing of the Raiders. Great deal for Cincy.

  Carson was pretty good for a while. But I think he got scared from being hit so many times.
• stroups

  

  FUCK YEAH... gtfo carson. Maybe mike brown knows what he doing after all. Or maybe I need to stop taking drugs.
• Automatik

  

  I'd be iffy about giving up one 3rd rounder. Who is calling the shots in Oakland? Al Davis' son? Is he aware that Palmer pretty much sucked balls his last few seasons in Cincy. He could make a comeback, but I don't see him being anything more than "serviceable" and I sure as hell don't think he's worth what Oakland gave up.

  At least he proved that he isn't completely fucking clueless. If he had turned this down to prove a point, they'd have burnt PBS to the ground.
• Iliketurtles

  

  Al Davis is still alive this trade confirms it. He is living with Elvis, 2Pac, and Steve Jobs.
  
  Its amazing that got 1 first round draft pick and then another one in 2013. I would have given max a 4th round pick for Palmer.
• Automatik

  

  This might be one of the most ridiculous moves I've ever seen in the NFL regarding trades. I can't think of one that tops it.

  I have to think Mike Brown is on vacation this week and Katie Blackburn (his daughter) made the move without his knowledge. Mike's probably at the tiki bar frantically making a call back to Cincinnati trying to figure who they heck made this move without his authority.

  Even Mike Brown couldn't fuck that deal up. This has to be the biggest trade rape in the history of trades. I'd give up a 4th pick at best for Carson. Just goes to show Al Davis wasn't the only dumbass in that front office. Wtf are they drinking there?
• like_that

  

  What needs to happen for the bengals to get the first rd pick in 2013?
• Skyhook79

  

  Even Mike Brown isn't stupid enough to turn this deal down. Would Love to see Palmer lead the Raiders to the Playoffs and Mike Brown sitting at home watching.

  It is ridiculous...but Ditka giving an entire draft for Ricky Williams is up there...so is Marshall Faulk in his prime for a 2nd and 5th.
• ksig489

  I could see a conditional pick that could end up as a #1, but not a 1 and a conditional that could be a second 1.
• thavoice

  Ya have to wonder about this deal.
  
  An older QB, who hasnt played well in a long time, and you get two first round picks?
  
  Wow.
• sportsfan24

  

  Bengals get the rest of that 118 Mill contract off the books.
• osu45804

  

  Now, Mike Brown will also have to spend money.... So let's just hope he can make more smart decisions with that money as well

  Carson Palmer threw 5 TD passes to beat me in the fantasy championship last year.

  MB finally fkd over AD...and you can be sure AD felt this one even while six feet under.

  That's Carson's career in a nutshell. Great fantasy stat guy; not so good when it comes to wins and losses on the actual football field.
  
  Two first round picks for him? L-O-Fucking-L. Raiders were desperate to the point of stupidity to make that deal. Like a "we're finally looking like a decent team, but our QB went down...TRADE EVERYTHING to replace him!!!!"
