OK, so who actually thought Carson Palmer would stay retired? Not me. I don’t know if anyone actually did. There wasn’t any way that the Cincinnati Bengals weren’t going to trade him, but I didn’t think it would be this soon.
Well, Tuesday’s trade deadline in the NFL saw Palmer get traded sooner than most thought. Palmer was shipped to the Oakland Raiders for two draft picks – 2012′s first-round pick and a conditional second-round pick that can be moved up to a first if Oakland wins a divisional playoff game this season or next season.
