The Oakland Raiders want to restructure Carson Palmer's contract and bring the QB back next season at a reduced price. Palmer is currently set to make $13 million in 2013, but he could take a pay cut similar to the one recently assigned to Michael Vick. Vick was set to cost the Philadelphia Eagles $15.5 million next season, but after re-working his deal, he should cost his team roughly $10 million instead. Palmer is coming off a solid season with the Raiders in which he completed 61.1 percent of his passes for 4,018 yards, 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

New stadium deal for Raiders gives team land, pays off debt

A new Raiders stadium offer worked out by Oakland Mayor Jean Quan's development people calls for giving free land to the team and for city and Alameda County taxpayers to pay off $120 million they still owe for the 1990s overhaul of the Coliseum - which would be demolished.
For months, Quan has been predicting that a broad agreement for a new Raiders stadium, costing $900 million to $1.2 billion, would be worked out by the summer's end.

Now, Zach Wasserman, an attorney representing backers of a hoped-for sports, housing and retail complex called Coliseum City, says the "basic terms" of a financial deal have been worked out among his group, the city's negotiators and the Raiders.

"I expect it to be executed soon," he said.

Yeah, great move here by the Mayor to dump this problem on the taxpayers of the City and the County. I hope they do a new occupy and demonstrate against this moronic bullshit. Higher taxes, higher tickets, higher parking and concessions, bring new meaning to the Raiders. Meanwhile, the owners are laughing all the way to the bank....

FWIW the Raiders & San Antonio are saying the stadium deal was far from finalized, as late as Thursday Raiders Execs were in San Antonio for the Arizona vs UTSA game at the Alamodome.... this one aint over.
