All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I don't see us ever wanting him since this team needs to build around a young QB. Palmer wouldn't be a good fit with this team. The Raiders were stupid in the first place to give up a 1st AND 2nd round draft pick for him. They gave up way too much especially with his current salary. He could've been had for a 3rd round draft pick or a 2nd at the very most.
Palmer had enough of Cincinnati when he didn't see any playoffs in his future with them & refused to report until he was traded. Why would the writer think he would go to Buffalo? This is another example of bad journalism. Writer knows half a story-good chance Oakland will dump Palmer. Writer knows nothing about the 2nd half of the story-where Palmer will end up. Writer wants to write a story so writer sees two teams who recently released veteran starters & presto-he can now write a story with absolutely no foundation. Brilliant!
Why do these ******s always mention the Buffalo Bills whenever some ****ty quarterback might become available? Some of the people working for the Bills want to win. Picking up any of these losers will not help out their situation.

I don't think that's a terrible idea if Buffalo could actually sign him as a free agent at a decent price, something I don't expect to happen. Buffalo would have to wait, first for Oakland to cut him, and then hope that Palmer finds the market is pretty cool for his services. The first step is likely, the second may not be. If Arizona makes a run at him in free agency, I suspect Palmer might prefer the Cardinals to Buffalo since Bruce Arians is their coach. Arians has much more of reputation as an NFL coach who's had success developing QBs and who runs a QB friendly offensive system that features a vertical passing game. In other words, if Palmer has visions of regaining star status in the twilight of his NFL career, Arizona gives him better odds of achieving that, particularly with Larry Fitzgerald as his primary receiver.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Because they don't have any inside information and is just looking for an article to post. Since teams like the Bills and Cardinals just got rid of their previous starting QB's it makes an easy and convenient article to include teams like us. It doesn't matter whether it fits where our team is at the time.
The only team that would be a right fit for Palmer would be somebody who has a good team already built around him but they have an awful QB or a young QB that isn't ready or already failed. They would just be looking for a veteran with past success to keep the seat warm for a couple years while they groom a young QB and hope that he puts/keeps them in contention in the process.
Since there isn't really any of them type of teams right now it would take a bad team that is just looking for a name QB to try and sell a few more tickets while he keeps the seat warm for a couple years until they tried to find a long-term solution. Even though we would fit that equation it wouldn't make any sense to bring him in. He isn't a long-term solution and our team isn't even good enough to compete for a playoff spot at the moment.
Report: Three teams showing interest in Seahawks QB Matt Flynn
Posted by Curtis Crabtree on March 26, 2013, 11:05 PM EDT AP
The market for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn could finally be heating up after remaining lukewarm so far this offseason.
According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the most likely destination for the Seahawks backup quarterback to end up if he’s traded this offseason. The Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills are also expressing interest.
New Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley is familiar with Flynn as he served as the Seahawks defensive coordinator prior to being hired in Jacksonville. Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie was with Flynn in Green Bay and is aware of his abilities as well. Buffalo traded for another Seahawks quarterback last year in Tarvaris Jackson late in the preseason to serve as backup to Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Seattle has expressed their willingness to keep Flynn as a backup next season despite his large contract. With starter Russell Wilson on a rookie third round contract for another two seasons, Seattle isn’t in a position where Flynn’s contract is a burden to their salary cap this season. Despite the offseason acquisitions of Percy Harvin, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett, the Seahawks are still around $6 million under the salary cap for next season.
“Our primary salary cap model included [Flynn] for the season and that’s a heck of a number two to have,” general manager John Schenider said in an interview with the Mitch in theMorning show on Sports Radio KJR in Seattle on Tuesday. “…The salary cap now with the CBA, the way things work with not being able to re-do [rookie contracts] for three years, we’re very much at peace with that situation.”
