Carson Palmer scenarios

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)

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.

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.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
