    I hope not. Hhorrible attitude and an interception machine.

    I'd take him for a 4 mil salary tho...

    Also, how credible is that source??

    Since his injury he's been the most overrated QB in the league. He's terrible.

    Here are his career stats:

    62.5 Completion %
    29,465 Yards
    189 TD's
    130 INT's
    86.2 Rating

    I will take this any day until we get our guy in the draft.

    Unless one of the big guys (Schefter, glazer, etc) reports it, I'm not listening.

    In 2012 he played 15 games and threw for 4,018 yards / 22 TD / 14 INT / 61.1 Completion % / 85.3 Rating.

    That's terrible?

    Palmer's QB merit is irrelevant in this case. If reports are right, he is looking to be on a winning team, even in a backup role. If this is true, Jets are out of the picture.

    Seems like a Tannenbaum move

    This....The Raiders were asking him to reduce his salary to around $10million and he wouldn't do it so they would be forced to release him. There is no way, unless Rex/Idzik pull off a vulcan mind trick, are going to get him to come to us. Way too many holes on offense right now. Arizona would be a likely landing spot. He has Larry F. to throw to down there. All we have is Holmes and Holmes couldn't carry L.F.'s jock.

    Now, would I mind? Not at all. Palmer would be far and away better than what we have. Don't buy into all the bull crap about him not being good enough. That's a load of bull crap is you look past the negative hype etc...

    No, I do not see this happening. Wouldn't be shocked if it did...but still don't see it happening.

    Unless we draft a QB this draft and plan to have Palmer just be a stop gap while the QB learns and develops, Id rather just play Gerrard or even McElroy. Palmer is a decent QB and better than what we have, and sadly that may be a problem when considering the long term future of this team. With a solid defense in place, he could probably win us 7 or 8 games.... You know, enough to push us out of a chance to draft a franchise QB.

    Drafting a guy like Nassib, Manuel or Glennon in the 2nd or 3rd and then having Palmer play while they develop wouldnt be a bad idea. Signing Palmer and trying to make next season into more than a rebuild year and year to set yourself up to drafting a future QB (if you dont this year), could be a bad idea.

    Of course the the Jets will pursue. I wouldn't read anything into it until Palmer shows interest in the Jets.

    Why are we even thinking about this, let Garrard Sanchez battle out and draft a rookie in the 4th round and let them compete the hell with Palmer,Kolb,Fitzpatrick and those type of guys

    Yes, we're spoiled by outstanding QB play. You think 52 turnovers in 2 seasons is easy? Not easy my man, not easy at all...

    I have mixed feelings about this. I want to read what others say first. I mean, the Raiders were very bad last season. I'm not sure why, I don't follow them, but I want to see other people's opinion of him.
