Carson Palmer 3 yr $50mil extension....

[rmoneyg35]

News is the Cardinals just gave Palmer a 3 year 50 million extension. That's about 17 million a year for a older QB with health issues. I believe this could pretty much predict that Cam could easily make 20 million a year when extended. Discuss.

I'm tired of this poo. Can't wait till he just gets the contract so this will be over.

Don't really see why they did that unless they are going all out the next two years for a SB before they lose Larry Fritz etc.

They have a young QB which will learn a lot from Carson and Bruce in Logan Thomas (maybe its the hokie homer in me) why have a QB that is older take that much cap space up? Would you take him over Phillip Rivers, Aaron Rogers, Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, Tom Brady, and Joe Flacco? Because with that contract he is getting paid more than those QBs

[PanthersClinic]

They're the best team in the NFL record wise. They want to stabilize things now that they're the top dog. I recall hearing Palmer saw a specialist about his injury woes so perhaps the Cardinals are confident he'll be healthy going forward.

 

Palmer is a veteran QB with all the physical tools to be a great pocket passer. It's only a 3 year deal. If they can get two great years out of them and a shaky third it'll have ben worth the investment.

It seems like a terrible financial idea to extend a QB during a stretch of very good play. Very few QB's are having sustained success in the NFL.

Ok

[stirs]

go away

Didn't Palmer get some huge contract from Oakland as well? Dude is banking it right now.

His agent is a genius

Lord have mercy, a lot of quarterbacks are overpaid these days.

And here's one more.

[Udogg]

It's not overpaid if every QB is signing a contract like that.  That means it's market value.

Cam will obviously now sign a 1 year infinity billion dollar deal.  Immediately following this news, he will celebrate by forcing a 10 year old girl to go swimming in a swimming pool filled with assault rifles.  Before the girl could have a chance to tell her parents, roger goodell will give him a suspension until all the assault rifles in the world are melted down and sold to the egyptians.  Cam will retire and pursue a rap career.

Good lord, man. Logan Thomas is hot garbage. If anything, this contract for an aging, often injured QB shows that Arizona pretty much feels that way too.

So Tony Romo was legitimately worth a hundred million?

It was, after all, market value.
