Trade Deadline

The trade deadline is here for the NFL, it ends today at 4pm.  In baseball and basketball, there are usually a fury of moves being made.  Some big names move in baseball do the expireing contracts or the NBA team load up on players trying to get into the playoffs.  Very seldom does a blockbuster trade or a big name get traded in the NFL.  Well folks, today it happened, and who did it? none other than the Oakland Raiders.  AFter Jason Campbell brakes his collarbone in Sunday's game the Raiders are looking for a qb.  Kyle Bollar is there back up, ehhh not bad for  a backup but obviously not what the Oakland front office wanted.  Who do they go get?  They go get Carson Palmer, who refused to play for Cinncy this year.  He has been a Pro Bowler in the past and has been working out in the Bay Area.  Cincy in return gets a 1st round pick this spring and a conditional 1st round pick next spring.  Who wins, it is hard to say. Common Sense says Cincy won with the 2 first round picks, but if Palmer is able to get Oakland over the hump and into the playoffs than it would look to be a win win for everyone.
