Vudu Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 A pair of articles from Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald make a convincing case that the Dolphins would be interested in acquiring Carson Palmer. There just isn’t much reason to think the Bengals would be interested. Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com takes issue with the thinking that the Bengals are warming up to moving Palmer. Bengals owner Mike Brown, who runs every aspect of the team, came out publicly to say no trade will happen. “And this is where Brown should never get underestimated,” Hobson writes. “If you back him into a corner publicly on any issue, you’re going to have a long wait.” Brown has affection for Palmer as a player and person. He’s not going to give him up without getting back a huge reward. Will the Dolphins remain interested when they find out it will take a first-round pick plus to get Palmer? And that’s if Palmer is available at all. Dan Marino said he “liked” Palmer, so he’d give up a third-round pick for him. (I’d also like Florio to double my salary. That has about as much chance of happening as Marino’s trade offer working.) For a team to get Palmer, they are going to have to really want him. If the Bengals are only going to get 2012 picks for Palmer, they can easily wait out Palmer until next March . . . when they get 2012 picks for him. There is no huge motivation to deal him this year. A team interested in Palmer will likely have to make give up a huge bounty. With the draft coming up and so much labor uncertainty, we’re not sure that team is out there.

nodimwithere Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 There are lots of teams out there needing a QB: Carolina, Seattle, Miami, Minnesota, Arizona, San Francisco, Buffalo, Washington (assuming McNabb does not return, which is a good assumption), Denver possibly. And, there are only so many veterans available (McNabb, Kolb, Palmer, possibly Alex Smith). Competition should be fierce and, by having neither free agency before the draft, and a prohibition against trading veterans under contract, most of these teams will have to draft a QB somewhere in this draft, unless a labor-management agreement can be reached soon (unlikely), and free agency declared before the draft. Actually, if that were to happen, it could be dynamite for veterans, particularly QBs, seeking to change teams (free agants mainly) who would likely command big $$$ in a market where demand would far exceed supply.

serphnx Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 He's a solid QB. Not an elite QB, but good enough to win if you've got a good team around him. Of course, he may actually be great, considering I don't think Joe Montana in his prime could have had sustained success with the Bungles, so it may be unfair to judge Palmer off of his work as Bungler. The fact that he wants out might show he's smarter than the HC out there and the players that actually sign as FAs. Like Coles, who we should never sign again. Or TO who should be given wrong directions so he doesn't find himself anywhere near Sanchez. I think the Vikes should make a serious play for him. He's more than good enough to be a serious threat with AP as a handoff option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
