Carson Palmer: Raiders Could Be Wise To Release Expensive QB

Carson Palmer is much too expensive for the Oakland Raiders in 2013, and the team is going to be better off in the long haul to only release the veteran quarterback before the period starts. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday that Palmer is "highly unlikely" to rebuild his present, exorbitant deal: As Schefter accounts, Palmer's base pay in 2013 is defined to be $13 million. Should the group decide to release him, $9.34 million could count as "dead money" contrary to the hat, per Spotrac.com. While $9.34 million isn't any bit, cutting Palmer would allow the team to truly save $4.66 million, that the team can truly use. His base salary makes him the next highest paid person in the NFL, right behind Chris Long, Jared Allen and Peyton Manning. No offense to Mr. Palmer, but he's nowhere near worth that kind of money. h/t Spotrac.com A year ago judging strictly by the numbers, Palmer was a typical quarterback. He has also demonstrated to be just an above-average quarterback for the duration of his career. Palmer's best year as a professional got all the long ago in 2005, his second season in the group. He used for 3,836 meters with 32 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions, finishing 67.8 per cent of his moves for a rating of 101.1. If he created figures that way year in and year out, Palmer could be worth the amount of money he is owed. But he doesn't produce figures like this every yeara'not even close. In other words, he's perhaps not worth $13 million per year. The $4.66 million the staff would save your self by cutting Palmer shed would give the salary limit place to it to complete one of two things: Palmer isn't the team's future quarterback, and hanging onto him now does not make any economic sense. Must Palmer won't make a deal, the only rational move common director Reggie McKenzie can make would be to simply let Palmer walk. Follow me on Twitter @JesseReed78
