The Oakland Raiders expect Carson Palmer to start for the organization this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer has not played a down of football since last December. The Raiders picked up the quarterback Tuesday and expect Palmer to play immediately. Oakland needed to replace Jason Campbell after he broke his collar bone against the Cleveland Browns. Kyle Boller replaced Campbell but will be sitting on the bench during this Sunday's game. As a result of this trade, the Cincinnati Bengals received a first round pick for the 2012 draft and either a second or first round pick in the 2013 draft depending on how far the Raiders go in the playoffs. With this requirement, this might be the last time Jason Campbell will be in an Oakland uniform, seeing as he is a free agent after this year. I am glad to see Carson Palmer back in the NFL and i believe he will be a good fit for the Raiders. I believe the Raiders are a contender this year.
