I wouldn't like that deal if I were a Raiders fan. I don't think the Raiders (bar some miraculous form from Palmer, who hasn't been a top rated QB for quite a while) will get far if they get into the playoffs. I could be wrong of course but it doesn't seem worth going for it all on one season on a soon-to-be 32 year old QB. Not in the long term anyway.
As for the Bradford thing I raised, I generally agree with you in principle with what was said, but if they were to trade Bradford for picks anyway and get a probable upgrade in football's most important position, would you? I mean it's not as if Bradford has helped them win games thus far either and if they were to get the 1st pick then he wouldn't have done so all year clearly.
