Cincinnati Bengals and Las Vegas Raiders
Cincinnati Bengals Win Tier: landmark
Confidence: high
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.
Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
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.
