You could be right, I'm just going on what Raiders new front office said and said they were going to to dig their way out of terrible contracts such as Palmers made by previous front office. They singled out Palmer and a very old Warren Sapp as contracts they had to get off the books before they could rebuild, and said it would take a few years. That's not me, that is what new Raiders front office cried about once they saw the books and payroll.
I still can't see paying a player millions to play for another team, and sports owners do this, and that is team money wasted.
Again, you are wrong. Al Davis died, his son Mark, was there before he died then took over. Mark did the deal with Palmer in 2012 himself, then traded Palmer to the Cardinals in 2013.
No NFL team pays a player to play for another team. The only way that could remotely happen is if the current team agrees to convert that player's salary to a signing bonus immediately before a trade in that same season in order to lower the cap hit on the team receiving the player in order to just dump him. Palmer's salary was converted before the 2012 season.
