I think there may be something to him wanting to see other key players signed before he approves a deal.
This team paid Palmer a lot of money. Most in the league at the time he signed his first non-rookie deal. They then proceeded to watch the line deteriorate and have very halfhearted attempts at building the roster in free agency.
Maybe Joe wants to make sure that signing him doesn't equate to them letting the rest of the team go to crap like it did when Carson was quarterback.
