Palmer to AZ? A trade? And if so, would we then be trading Hoyer to Pitt?
If we are that interested we could offer a 6th round pick and the Raiders would take what they can get.A trade is out of the question, Garth, as the Raiders will have no other choice but to release him anyway.
At this point we do not even know if the Cardinals are interested, nor do we know whether Palmer is interested in the Cardinals. According to MJ---Palmer's agent, David Dunn, is trying to hook Palmer up with a contender, even as a backup.

Would his salary be doable after a trade? We would not have to pay signing bonus.
I want Palmer here.

I think the only way a trade happens is if Palmer would take a pay cut to play here. I doubt the Cards are going to trade for him at his present salary.
Its going to happen. I feel it in my bones, I do.
And after we draft Tavon Austin... look out NFC West defenses...

Palmer would want to be released and free to sign anywhere, which is the leverage he has. And a trade to AZ unlikely to light his fire...

Biggest holdup to Cardinals acquiring Palmer would be if he balks at re-doing his deal with them, which he obviously could...

Would be a surprise to people around the league if Oakland QB Carson Palmer winds up in Arizona. A real surprise.
The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because all talks were to remain private, said the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers are atop the list of Palmer's preferred new employers.
