Now that general manager Reggie Mckenzie and the Oakland Raiders will be starting over with a new head coach,   it could mean quarterback Carson Palmer’s tenure in Oakland will be a short one and he could find himself looking for a new team next season. After a rough season in 2011,  after getting traded from the Bengals before the NFL’s trade deadline,  Palmer wasn’t able to help the Raiders get to the playoffs like they thought he could. Mckenzie has stated that Palmer will face some competition next season as the Raiders starting quarterback. “Carson Palmer will not be immune to a good player…pushing him,”  said McKenzie. One could argue that if Jason Campbell didn’t suffer an injury that kept him out the rest of the season,  the Raiders migh have made he playoffs. in the end if Palmer doesn’t like his situation,  he could decide to force his way out of Oakland–like he did in Cincinnati.
