Enter Carson Palmer.
When it came to drama there weren’t very many players that had as much press as Palmer this year. His season began with a voluntarily pay cut as he chose to pass on collecting $12-million. Seems Palmer had finally had enough of the Cincinnati Bengals. As a testament to how much Coach Jackson has done for the franchise Palmer was excited at the prospects of being a Raider.
Two very high draft picks later and Palmer was off the couch and into a Silver and Black uniform.
