Let me be the first to state the obvious <championship>.

 

[Austin Zonie]

Any word on salary?

 

[red desert]

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PDXChris]

He we only give the pick if he starts 13 games, otherwise, they get nothing?

WOW, not a bad price to have the freedom to have exclusive negotiation rights.

 

[PDXChris]

Plus, it will be clsoe to the last pick in the draft anyways.

Time for the Bidwills to get out an old Jim McMahon jersey, dust it off & change the name plate

That is just about as cheap as it gets. I suppose exchanging picks this year would have cheaper. Bargain as far as draft pick compensation IMO.

7th rounder and conditional to boot??

!!!!If True.......

We only actually have to give up a 7th rounder in 2014 IF he starts 13 or more games? So we may not have to give up anything at all? And if we do it is only a 2014 7th rounder!!!!!

I hope that means they have a reasonable contract agreement with him as well. Hope they didn't trade for a hold out from the get-go

I am really happy if Carson Palmer is the starting QB for the Cards this year. A HUGE upgrade from any we have had since KW hanged 'em up. At least IMO.

The Cards will have four QB's on the current roster it's possible they will not draft a QB in the upcoming draft, bring four to camp.

It will be the last pick before comp picks too.

Yep & a 2014 pick at that... but these are the Cardinals. Probably turns into a 3rd rounder if he starts 13 games

 

[Shane]

not even this years draft.. sweet

2 yrs $20 from what I read

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Nice, this season just got interesting!

 

[MoeIsBetter]

2 year $20M? I can live with it. Not the number I was hoping for, but not terrible. Starting QB money.

 

[Darkside]

So sweet that we're not even giving up a 2013 pick. Love it.

I'm betting they draft one in round 2 or 3 and dump Lindley.
