Cincinnati Bengals Remain Quiet On Carson Palmer Trade To The Oakland Raiders

“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 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.

i’m all about trent richardson, O-guard, or dre kirkpatrick. this is insane i can’t think straight

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.

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…

CB morris claiborne and OG cordy glenn for 1st round picks

just get a 2nd round pick I WANT PALMER TO SUCK BAD OR QUIT ON THEM…QUITER

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!
