I think the price the Raiders paid would have been a fair price for Carson Palmer the player if There hadn't been any weird circumstances. Carson refusing to play for the Bengals should have been worth a discount. I don't think they got one. Its a questionable move because they paid full market price in what should have been a fire sale, but they didn't necessarily overpay for the player they got.

They didn't overpay for Palmer until they canned Hue, his Palmer-friendly system, and then shipped Palmer off for a 6th round pick.  And there is no "fire sale" when Mike Brown is involved, because he'd put winning an argument over anything but a ridiculous bounty.  When Palmer was holding out I was thinking "Come on Mike, don't punish the guys who are staying, if someone offers a 2nd or somethign pull the trigger."

I don't know the insides of it, but I'd wager teams that weren't the Raiders offered something that Mike turned down.
