I actually like it. I'm not fooling myself into thinking that Colt McCoy is a good quarterback or anything but look at it like this.
The 49ers' 5th round pick they gave up is 9 spaces ahead of the 6th round pick they got. So they trade down 9 spaces in the draft, give up a 7th round pick, and get a QB that, in my opinion, could lead them to one or two wins if Kaepernick is out for three games.
Basically, they got very little and gave up very little. They still have like 15 draft picks. The marginal use of one of those 7th rounders compared to McCoy is crazy small. Plus, I like rooting for McCoy, so it'll be easier now.
Quarterback Carson Palmer was traded from the Oakland Raiders to the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday in a deal that includes the swap of 2013 draft picks and a conditional pick in 2014.
Palmer, 33, also agreed to a new contract with the Cardinals. The team did not disclose terms of the quarterback's deal, but league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the restructured contract is for two years and worth $16 million. It also gives the Cardinals an out after one year if the situation does not work out. Palmer was due to make $13 million this season.
As part of the deal, the Cardinals sent the second of their sixth-round picks (176th overall) to the Raiders in exchange for Oakland's seventh-round pick (219th overall). In addition, the Raiders will receive for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2014 draft if Palmer starts 13 games for Arizona in 2013, a league source told ESPN.
The return the Raiders received for Palmer is far less than the price the team paid to acquire the quarterback from the Cincinnati Bengals in 2011: a 2012 first-round draft pick and a second-round selection in the 2013 draft.
