The Facts:
According to a source familiar with the team’s thinking, the Raiders were “trying hard” to make a deal for Palmer, although the source highly doubted that Cincinnati would deal Palmer.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
To this point, Bengals owner Mike Brown would rather play power games with Palmer than do something that could help his team and it seems unlikely that this situation will change at this point. The Raiders have a need for a quarterback after Jason Campbell had his season end prematurely due to a broken collarbone earlier today which leaves Kyle Boller as the starter. Keep in mind that, at least under Al Davis, they were not adverse to over-paying in trades and free agency to get the player they wanted.
