THE Cincinnati Bengals traded disgruntled quarterback Carson Palmer to the Oakland Raiders shortly before Tuesday's National Football League trade deadline.
The Raiders needed a quarterback to replace Jason Campbell, who broke his collarbone in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. Campbell had surgery on Monday and is expected to miss at least six weeks.
Palmer wanted to leave the Bengals, who have had only two winning records in the past 20 years.
Cincinnati will get a 2012 first-round pick and a second-rounder in 2013 for the 31-year-old quarterback.
Bengals owner Mike Brown said the play of rookie Andy Dalton made it easier to trade Palmer.
"We also find ourselves rather suddenly in position of being able to receive real value for Carson that can measurably improve our team, which is performing well and is showing real promise for this year and years to come," he said in a statement.
"When this opportunity arose, we felt we could not let it pass and needed to take a step forward with the football team if we could."
The Raiders (4-2), winners of two straight, are in second place in the American Football Conference West division while the Bengals (4-2), winners of three straight, are second in the AFC North.
The Detroit Lions also made a move before the deadline, acquiring running back Ronnie Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles for running back Jerome Harrison and an undisclosed draft pick in 2013.
Harrison is set for his second stint with the Eagles.
After four seasons in Cleveland, Harrison was dealt to Philadelphia last season and this year signed with the Lions where he had 14 carries for 41 yards.
