Palmer to Oakland

Carson Palmer has been traded to the Oakland Raiders. In return the Bengals will get the Raiders first round pick of the 2012 draft and the Raiders second round pick of 2013. If the Raiders make the playoffs and win a game before the 2013 draft, the second round pick will be upgraded to a first round pick.

This is probably the best deal for Palmer where he will be able to jump in immediately and the coach of the Oakland Raiders, Hue Jackson, was a coach of Palmer's at USC and the Wide Receivers coach for the Bengals. Even better, it makes Mike Brown eat his words. Now, we just have to see what the Bengals do with these two picks.
