I think we would take that trade in less than a second if it was somehow possible.

If he gets that elbow right he could still have plenty of good years ahead. I think he's far from washed up at 31. That said I definitely don't want him here. We already tried the vet route, time to get a young QB in here that Shanahan can shape and develop to his liking.

McNabb and Palmer are on the same boat I think. Both QBs are in situations where they can help a team that has everything in place (a la Vikings when Favre got there), but are not the answer to a team like ours. I wonder if Palmer's availability will affect us trading McNabb.

Jake Plummer walked. Doesn't happen often - - but it does happen once in a while.

Didn't John Elway have one more year on his contract after he won his 2nd Super Bowl and announced his retirement? Cannot recall...

MTK · 01-24-2011, 12:49 PM

Is he really going to potentially give up $50M though?

sportscurmudgeon · 01-24-2011, 12:55 PM

Matty:

Probably not.

Same situation applies here in DC. Donovan McNabb can ask for/demand a trade. He too can threaten to retire. But in the end, he knows that if he is on the roster at the beginning of next season he gets $10M for the season.

McNabb will not retire - - even if he threatens to do so.

No trading as of now:

I wouldn't want him here. He has not been the same since that injury. Besides, we tried Jesse Palmer at QB and how'd that work out?

We also tried Jordan Palmer to no avail.

Some of you posters are easily influenced, aren't you? Palmer is no better than Rex Grossman! What is Palmer crying about now? Don't ever say that Cutler is a cry baby, Palmer takes that distinction from Cutler.

Palmer sees his efforts going down the drain and wants out so he can go elsewhere and cry some more. Leave this guy alone and let him feel sorry for himself.

Monkeydad · 01-24-2011, 02:35 PM

Palmer for Romo.

I do not care about carson Palmer's stats. I saw Carson play two games this season and looked weak. I don't want another older Qb. Especially one that says publicly, 'I have enough money to retire right now.' That is not the message I want to hear from my Qb. The Redskins really need to stay away from older expensive players, including some that are on our roster. Please, we need to get younger.
Our FO and fans need to stay grounded with facts, we were 4-12 in 2009 and 6-10 in 2010. We are not one or two players away from being a Superbowl team.
Do you really think Carson Palmer would leave the losing in Cincy to come here? Carson will leave Cincy to go to Minnesota, Seattle or Dallas. Teams that really are a few players away from being a playoff team or at least (in the case of Dallas) have some great weapons on offense and defense.
