Palmer done?

[coogi]

I've never been good with how things affect the cap. So you're saying if Carson really is done, there is no cap hit whatsoever??

not a cap guy either but its my understanding that when a player retires they are essentially walking away from their contract... meaning once he leaves hes off the cap without any penalties...dont take my word as gospel though..im sue there is someone more knowledgable who can chime in if they read this

Carson gave it a go.

He has millions in the bank, and is the best player on a poor team with no money. If he is around next year the upside is nil, breaking another few ribs a real possibility.

If it is worth that to keep your grill on TV, go for it Carson.

So the offensive coordinator killed McFadden and Palmer by having them do stuff not suited to their strengths.

If Allen decides to keep him now after all of this

[oaklandheat]

i really hope not..

And the OL is porous, the receivers have dropitis, McFadden has no backup (and is crystal), and the defense makes sure the Raiders lose the field position side of things despite a great punter.

I hope I never hear Knapp's name again, because if I do it will probably be a result of his success with talent.

That was my uneducated assessment as well. ^^^

Done for the season, hopefully not a career ending injury.
But Palmer out of Oak? No way, we need to see this threw, we gave up a 1st and 2nd for him.
But he has been more than descent at QB, with the OL not up to par, or Offensive that uses his strenghts.
Who can we add at the moment that is better than Palmer? Or who will be willing to come over right now?
I don't see any day 1 starters that wil be better than Palmer in College right now.

Need to see this threw With Palmer. He's not part of our problem for Losing.

GM's and Owners should never restrict themselves to the cost of players. If the player is not cutting it and will not cut it going forward, we and they should never hold onto the player due to the cost, in Palmers case a 1st and 2nd, is irrelevant at this point. Geez, if we went with that thought, Ro would probably still be our free safety on our prevent defense. That said, Palmer, if Palmer wants back, I take him back and he's my starting QB. He's proven himself enough to warrant the job going forward. He showed a lot in a new system. Now lets go back tothe old system and right the ship.

[Heart of Oak]

If this is true, I would rather we go for a Kirk Cousins or even Matt Flynn - the QB class is really weak this year and I don't think Geno Smith is 'that' guy.

Matt Flynn

[Live.B.A.Raida]

I don't know how credible this is...

Both RM and DA have said straight from their mouth that Palmer's the QB of the future for the franchise, although I don't know how long they speculate he can last in the NFL. If Palmer is done its because he says he's done. Palmer's an average qb at this point with questionable decision making... We definitely need to be making plans around his replacement, if it's grooming Pryor or finding our qb via draft or trade.

I'd welcome the cap relief, if we're sticking with Reggie's deconstruct and rebuild plan might as well put an end to the short Palmer era.

You take from the world, the world takes back.

tough business

[D-Tre]

He'll be fine. At least, if he wants to come back he will be. Never seen a rib injury take someone out for good.
