Report: Bengals close to shipping Palmer to Raiders | ProFootballTalk

Now they're trading him? He was the guy I wanted the Vikes to go after this past offseason instead of McNabb, but Cincinnati wasn't going to "flinch" then. Jerks.

(Note: the frustration of watching this last weekend's game with a room full of Bears fans has in no way influenced the tone of this post. </sarcasm>)

Jackson was the WR coach for the Bengals, according to my bud Randy.

Pretty crazy. Raiders are going to be pretty good.

Looks like they are paying a pretty steep price for this guy....too steep IMO.

Not a fan of his at all, he had a really good team around him in Cinci' and couldn't get it done. Oak overpaying for him.. but everyone knows Oak are desperate so they were always going to overpay.

They never had a defence good enough to get it done and when he had the chance he got injured i his knee vs the Steelers if i remember correctly..

But has he lived up to his No. 1 overall pick potential, i don't think so, still in his prime he as pretty good.

That O he had, was damn good, but last year he sucked, threw pick after pick after pick.. 99% were badly thrown balls.

I never thought I would wonder who is worse this year, us or the Raiders.

Raiders have been building the right way for a few years. They could potentially sneak into a wild card spot this year and maybe even win the division next year.
