It's pretty bad, especially considering all the cap space and actual money they have to give Palmer too.

Holy crap. A conditional 1st in 2013! Anyone heard what that condition is. Make the playoffs or win a playoff game? This could be one of the worst deals in NFL history.
Oakland making bad deals is just a tribute to Al Davis.
I was wrong to ever doubt the powers of Lou Lamoriello.

The condition is apparently if they win a playoff game lol. If they don't win a playoff game, they give up a 2nd in 2013 instead of a first.

I don't disagree that it's an overpayment considering the predicament the Bengals were in, and this pretty much destroys the Raiders' 2012 draft (and could hurt 2013 if that pick turns into a 1st rounder)... BUT, I do still think Palmer has something left* and the Raiders are a lot better today than they were yesterday. They're really going for it. It's a big, probably foolish, gamble. We'll see how it pays off.
I think David Garrard needing surgery really stung them here; they could have just signed him and gotten a decent replacement without giving up anything.
*: I know the interceptions were awful last year, but everything else wasn't that bad; his completion rate was just under Matt Ryan, he was 6th in passing yards, 9th in touchdowns ... I don't think he's finished, and teams are going to respect him more than they would a Kyle Boller, which could help the running game (as if McFadden needs any more help
). Perhaps the biggest issue will be how quick he can learn the offense and get into the rhythm of playing again.
Regardless of what happens in Oakland though, I definitely agree this is a major win for the Bengals. Peter King said he heard Marvin Lewis would have been thrilled to just get a 2nd rounder for Palmer.

hey the way the Raiders draft in the first round, not having the picks might be a BONUS and Palmer may be better then the stiffs they tend to land anyway 
and watch the Bengals STILL screw up 4 first rounders in 2 years
