Lets not go to far. We have no idea what the conditional pick is in 2013 and I'd bet they never see that draft pick. So they probably gave up a 1st for Palmer. After watching Rex this past Sunday that sounds like a pretty good deal. There is a reason Palmer wanted out.
All reports is that 2013 is a 2nd that could conditionally become a 1st. The Raiders got hosed.

Someone mentioned the possibility of JC back in Wash. That would be somethin, but I don't see it happening. If it did, Shanny could at least say he got a 4th & then was still able to sign him again.

Honestly i could see it working out for the Raiders in the short term but the cost is way to high and will hurt them in the future. Neat chart on average age of each team:
2011 NFL age ranks: Calling all graybeards - NFC West Blog - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcwest/post/_/id/43768/2011-nfl-age-ranks-calling-all-graybeards)
Raiders are 15th, but likely will be a little older with the addition of 31/32 year old QB and the lack of young "keepers" from the first round in 2012 and 2013. The Redskins are the 5th oldest team for comparison. Cinncinati is the 22 oldest (so theyre pretty young)

Oakland is going to be a really old team in 2014, but the truth is they'll probably be the same team that they are now, personnel wise. The 2015 Raiders are going to be horrible, but I just don't think that's of much concern to them right now. A good GM may have raised that concern, but Hue Jackson sees a team that can dominate its division for the next 3.5 years. And he's going for it.
Meanwhile props to the Bengals, they could be a force really soon

All that talent will have a hard time overcoming Marvin Lewis as head coach.
