Cincinnati Bengals Remain Quiet On Carson Palmer Trade To The Oakland Raiders
The Cincinnati Bengals remain mum on the reported Carson Palmer trade that virtually every NFL insider is reporting, and if you're reminded Warren Sapp, Donte Whitner and Shaun Rogers no one can blame you for being a little nervous.
There's reasons for this all of which points to this: The Cincinnati Bengals never confirm a player transaction (signing, waiving, releasing) until the team officially announces it, which generally happens after paper work is submitted and approved through the league office.
Before any of that however, Oakland will have to conduct a physical; which is currently happening per Chris Mortensen, though he's expected to pass. Additionally the Oakland Raiders will have to work with Palmer to get his contract under the salary cap. According to ESPN's NFL Insider John Clayton, the Raiders "have $6 million left under the cap" and Palmer's salary cap number is roughly over $11 million. However, as far as we understand, teams don't have to be under the cap until the end of the regular season and wouldn't cause any delays for the trade to be finalized through the league office.
As far as we understand it, the deal is done and an announcement is forthcoming. We're just now at the stage of hearing confirmation from one of the team's or the league office and not an NFL Insider.

all of mine went to the garbage
I represent the Bengals of Cincinati with extreme passion and prejudice and make no apologies for it!
Something Else To Think On
This is wayyy different than getting 1st rounders when you had to give HUGE signing bonus’s for 1st rounders, so now to get a high first rounder is huge also, you get them cheap for four years .. think about it.
First rounders going forward...........
are far more valuable than they’ve ever been. That is part of what makes this deal that much better. I can’t get over it!

Ted Bruschi on SC just now
“The Bengals are an organization you have to look at in a different light now.”
This is one of the biggest days in my 30+ years of Bengals fandom.
I also just heard the first “Maybe Trent Richarsdson…” comment. I am seriously giddy right now.
I agree--two first round picks next year?
Get Richardson and an offensive lineman and all the rest defense. Stacked and packed!
What pics?
I think the Faiders could end up with 9-10 wins, and same with the Bengals, or 8-8. What is that traditionally? Could we be looking at two picks in the 15-20 range?

This is unbelievable!
It’s a win-win. Carson gets his demand, and the Bengals get a first rounder! Who Dey!
The new CBA also played a roll in this
I doubt MB would want these extra high picks under the old CBA. Too costly.
Now with a much cheaper rookie pay scale, these picks are gold.
Will miracles never cease and MB gets trade happy in the draft and builds up draft picks for years to come?
For vets on the team, the message is clear, MB can replace you in the draft next season and maybe for years later.

Rec'd for financial truth
Another reason to love this deal.

sounds like marvin is goin to get an extention....
Typically coaches don’t like to trade for picks unless they know they r goin to be back abuse the picks… Sounds like Marvin knows he will be back years to come… Who dey! Marvin cam finally model this organization after Baltimore and Pittsburgh … Build ur team through draft !
AMAS
Considering Mike turned down the Ditka/Ricky Williams deal...
….and the rumored Redskins deal for Chad, I am cautiously optimistic about this deal going down. Thank you for finally pulling the trigger.
Benson suspension reduced to 1 game and a fine!
Woo Hoo!

Why are we cheering?
I really hope the Peerman/Scott/Leonard combo works well.

Sure, Ced hasn’t been great lately, but I’d prefer he at least be available to play.
by LeapingLeonard on Oct 18, 2011 12:52 PM EDT up reply actions
+1
I’ve always been a big Ced supporter, but am losing steam. Don’t know if it’s Ced or just the O-line but Leonard can seem to get the yards…
That being said, having him at least available is a good thing

Need to see how the contract changes play into this
I’m guessing that for 2 first round picks, CP won’t owe the Bengals any fine money – not sure. As for Palmer not playing for money but to be happy (or something to that effect), I’ll be curious to see what he makes in Oakland over the next few years.
Cap impact not correct
According to ESPN’s NFL Insider John Clayton, the Raiders “have $6 million left under the cap” and Palmer’s salary cap number is roughly over $11 million. However, as far as we understand, teams don’t have to be under the cap until the end of the regular season and wouldn’t cause any delays for the trade to be finalized through the league office.
His full base no longer counts since he loses 1/17th each week he’s “retired”. Therefore, only he only counts $7,441,176 against the cap. The Raiders just need to count some of that as a signing bonus over the life of his contract to bring that number down quite a bit. This won’t be a problem…
draft picks
CB morris claiborne and OG cordy glenn for 1st round picks
i dont care if the bengals
just get a 2nd round pick I WANT PALMER TO SUCK BAD OR QUIT ON THEM…QUITER
this is great news for the bengals! who would have thunk it?
and you know what? i am still going to root for palmer.
the raiders just became a lot more interesting for me.
so it is a win-win.
for me.
everybody is a winner today!
mike brown and palmer and me.
