Carson Palmer scenarios

[Peppermint9030]

1. Jimmy Clausen, and a fourth round pick for Carson Palmer...

2. Resign D Will and trade him, and a 6th rounder to Cincy for Palmer...

3. Trade our 3rd and 4th rounders for him

4. Or forget it, and stick with Clausen

[Stumpy]

All options suck.

Forced to stick with pickles

[rscott94]

trade our 1st and 3rd

we get thier 1st *2nd or 3rd and Carson Palmer

* We hope one of the QB's shine at the combine and we'll get this

* If he realy wants out... they might do this

(thats the only way i would do it)

[GoHeels74]

The ONLY way I would even consider trading DeAngelo and our 6th round pick for a washed up Carson Palmer would be if we also got their 1st or 2nd round pick. Which is not going to happen.

Stick with Clausen.

This i dont know why people want to get rid of Williams so bad and for so low (same thing for Steve Smith)

[Kevin Greene]

DWill is a free agent. We cannot trade him.

[Jackofalltrades]

None unless he gets a smaller contract.

Yeah I know DeAngelo's the best RB we've ever had and it's not like he's nearing the end of his career. I think we should re-sign him to a 3-4 year deal and pay him what he deserves. Stewart is the one I would have to think about re-signing based on his injury history. That said I would love to see a few more years of Double Trouble.

Again, I'll trade Tony Pike for Palmer. That's it.

[Pox 08]

Out of those options. Definitely stick with Clausen.

I'm pretty sure some Bengals fans would take that trade.

We have to resign DeAngelo. Front load his contract or give him a nice guaranteed amount of money. That way once he starts to decline we won't be paying him a high salary and he can be reduced to a backup role. He has elite vision. McGahee is set to be released for those who want to trade him and would like an affordable alternative/backup.

I would definately trade for Palmer. He would be a great stop gap QB while Clausen or whoever develops. But I probably wouldn't trade anything more than a 5th for him. And on the terms that he will restructure his contract to absorb a lower cap hit.

As for Pike. I would trade him for a 12 pack. And that's selling high.

Now that I think about it I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Tony Pike will do in our new offense.

Sure, if you never want to see a deep pass completed again. Dude has no arm or zip on the ball. People complain about Clausen's arm strength, I would hate to see what they say about Pike.
