Looks like Cincy May Be A Trade Partner Now

I'd switch ones and take their second for Palmer. I'd throw in Clausen if they wanted him or not just to get rid of him.

Exactly what I've been thinking for a couple of weeks now. This would be a steal IMO. And it also makes a lot of sense from both team's perspective.

Except for the clausen part. I think he's still got some value.

I would trade picks + Palmer in a heartbeat, this guy still has some gas left in the tank, and would definitely be an above average stop-gap- the guy played on one of the most disfunctional teams in the league last year for Pete's sake

then we could maybe get Dareus, Peterson, or Green

Didn't see this when I posted the same thing. just to swap picks is to give them the equivalent of the 13th overall pick (trade value). You need the second rounder to make it a deal.

I would keep Clausen, but as the third QB. He still has a chance of turning things around if brought on slowly. (Elway sucked worse his first year).

But he is so goddamn ugly I just can't take it

Palmer is done being a good NFL QB. Just to remind everyone he had a worse QB rating than Jimmy Clausen when we played the Bengals last year. Not to mention you have to take on his massive contract.

The only way Cincy needs to be trade partners is if they want to give us #4, #35 and their first next year to move up to #1.

Good point with the contract, but as far as talent, we aren't doing better: McNabb, Volek, Kolb ? QB talent is not available via trades or free agency.

I imagine Palmer would rework his deal, but as he says, he could retire with $80 million..

Regardless, if we dont get Palmer, Cincy needs a QB. They know Buffalo wants one and may think we do. They also know we have other needs. Other teams could leapfrog CIncy and Buffalo and trade up with Denver. The only way to make sure you get one of the top 2 qbs is to deal with us.

I think the owner of the Bengals sits on Palmer, however. He will not trade him. Whem egos go public..

to hell with anything involving the #1 pick in a trade for palmer, i say. you can get better value moving out of the #1 pick assuming there are trade partners. this is the bengals we're talking about here, no need to give them a good deal when they'll take a bad one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
