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.
Agreed. I think someone had to come in with a big offer or MB would have been perfectly fine letting him sit at home. I've always thought that both Carson and MB underestimated how stubborn the other is.
