Palmer sucks this year but a "sucky Palmer" in the NFC West is better than anything around these neck of the woods. I'd take him.

what other FA options are out there? I'd take palmer as long as he didn't cost a billion or so.

Palmer had one good season and was injured. Since then his overall QB rating has been about the same as Alex Smith. Right now Palmer, with two of the better WRs in the game on his side, has a rating of 78, lower than Smith.
I don't know if Alex would be willing to stay here another year or not but I would rather have him than Palmer.
Actually Carson Palmer just took his team to the playoffs last year with a 10-6 record.
Would you say a change of scenery would be better for Palmer???
Palmer is another one of those guys that I might sign as a FA but I wouldn't give up a first day draft pick for him. Best I would give for him is a 5th.

Hmmm, I should ask my wife. She works with Carson Palmer's mother-in-law. Maybe she has some inside information...

Totally feel the same way here. He's worth a 5th, 4th at the very most and that's probably overpaying. IMHO anyone who wants to give up a 2nd rounder for him is sniffing glue. The fact he needs to restructure no matter what scenario plays out should go with out saying.
