Palmer Extends Contract

[football karma]

I liked Calais Campbell's reaction via Twitter:

It says a great deal on his stature in the locker room.

Keim time baby yeah!

 

[PJ1]

So nice to hear this. Money well spent.

 

[Cheesebeef]

having been INCREDIBLY skeptical of Palmer, dude's been lights out since the second half of last season and this is a great move to get the position locked up for the foreseeable future.

 

[SeattleCard]

Great move. I think the memories of Kolb/Skelton/Lindley are finally washed clean from my conscience.

Yes he has. Do you recall the discussion we had several years ago about the Cards needing to draft a QB in the Rd 1, preferably with the 1st overall pick?
We now have a QB who was the first player drafted on the team. I'm thinking this is another omen that we win the SB, if not this year then next.

Let's face it; he has been Warneresque. Every time Palmer drops back, I expect a completion, just like I used to with Warner.

Another way of saying he reads the play well and throws with accuracy. *sigh*, so nice to see again. Except he has a stronger arm than Warner and has a little "Big Ben, tough to bring down" in him.

I really like this organization and team.

On top of everything you've said, Carson has really improved his footwork. Watch him climb a pocket dude, compared to years past. He really has some giddy up in his step. I think this is the best he's ever played.

The more I watch you can really see he understands the offense and is getting more and more comfortable in it, I see better offensive games coming soon!

 

[GatorAZ]

Do we know how much his first year salary is for next season?

I agree, BA and Moore are QB whisperers for sure.

A good solid look at everything there Redheart .
I think we are going to witness Palmer surpassing everything Warner did here . LET ME BE CLEAR, not because Palmer is a better QB than Warner , but because Palmer is now standing in a better situation than Warner had here . MB--SK--BA are working hand in hand , these players love this HC , and are happy playing for the Cardinal org. as a whole . Bruce Arians is the Best HC BY FAR in the 2014 NFL .

Thanks Jim Otis; fun to hear a confirmation from a colleague!

Perfect timing for palmer.

 

[GatorAZ]

Perfect timing for palmer.

Amazing how that works.

 

[Azlen]

The extreme downside of mid season signings.

 

[Shaggy]

Why didn't they wait for a few more games? Why was it something they needed to do now?

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Can you say Colt McCoy?

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Why didn't they wait for a few more games? Why was it something they needed to do now?

Not sure

Cap reasons maybe?

 

[Darkside]

I personally think they did it when they did to leverage their negotiations with Larry. Makes it easier if you can already say you have Palmer locked up.

This isn't a great contract, its an ok contract. Palmer is 35 years old and has had injury problems throughout his career. $$ could be a little too steep imo.

Luckily, its only a 3 year contract.

Still I feel like they could have got him cheaper than this. And obviously with the injury now, they'd have been better off waiting til off season to get this done.

 

[Mulli]

Have you seen what Jay Cutler makes?

 

[TRW]

Even with the injury the signing was a no brainer.

20/20 hindsight doesn't change that.

+ Cutler is not even injured .

It depends on the details of the contract.
