Trade 1 of 2
Cincinnati Bengals and Las Vegas Raiders
Cincinnati turned an absent Carson Palmer into a 2012 first-round pick that became Dre Kirkpatrick and a 2013 second-round pick that became Giovani Bernard. The Raiders were desperate after Jason Campbell's injury and paid a premium for a quarterback who gave them short-term competence but no real contention. The Bengals extracted major value from a player who had already threatened retirement rather than return.
Assets Received
Cincinnati Bengals
- Pick 2012 1st round pick (17th overall, Dre Kirkpatrick)
- Pick 2013 2nd round pick (37th overall, Giovani Bernard)
Las Vegas Raiders
- Player Carson Palmer

Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders
Arizona acquired Carson Palmer and a seventh-round pick for a sixth-rounder plus a conditional 2014 seventh. Palmer became the Cardinals' long-term starter, went 38-21-1 in regular-season starts for Arizona and delivered a 13-3 season with an NFC Championship Game appearance in 2015. Oakland moved up 43 spots in the 2013 draft and later received the pick used on Shelby Harris, but the Raiders realized little lasting value from those assets. Arizona won decisively.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Pick 2013 6th round pick (176th overall subsequently traded, David Quessenberry)
- Pick 2014 7th round pick (235th overall, Shelby Harris)
Arizona Cardinals
- Player Carson Palmer
- Pick 2013 7th round pick (219th overall, D.C. Jefferson)
