Carson Palmer To Be A Raider!.. Pending Physical

[wheeler281]

Oakland and Cincinnati are on the verge of completing one of the NFL's biggest trade-deadline deals in decades, with the Raiders acquiring holdout quarterback Carson Palmer from the Bengals in exchange for two first-round picks, according to sources familiar with the deal.

The first first-round pick is in 2012 and the other is a conditional first-round pick in 2013. Palmer was in the Bay Area on Tuesday morning getting a physical before the deal could be completed.

SO the raiders pretty much do not have a draft next year if I remember. The price seems a little steep for me. This isn't 2005

Only the Raiders would make this deal

Guess they figured they should make one last RIDICULOUSLY STUPID deal to honor Al Davis.

If they get into the 2nd round of the playoffs, the Raiders will consider the trade a success.

Since Palmer went to USC... I don't see him succeeding
