He is 5-0 in games he started this year going into Sundays home contest against St. Louis. Arizona acquired Palmer in a trade with Oakland prior to the 2013 season. In his 12th NFL season, Palmer is 15-6 as a starter since coming to the Cardinals. Arizona has won 12 of Palmers last 14 starts. He missed three games this season with a dead nerve in his throwing shoulder but returned to lead the team to four straight wins. Carson has played at an incredibly high level and has been a huge part of the teams success, general manager Steve Keim said in the news release announcing the signing. When you combined his on-field performance with the leadership, stability and professionalism he brings to the team, there was no question that we wanted to extend the relationship and are excited he felt the same way.

The Cincinnati Bengals picked Palmer as the No. 1 overall selection in the 2003 draft out of USC.

In 2011, he sat out the first six games of the season in a dispute with ownership and was traded to Oakland. After the 2012 season, the Raiders decided to go younger at quarterback and Palmer came to Arizona at very little cost. The deal had Arizona swapping a sixth-round pick for Oaklands seventh-round pick. He signed a three-year contract with the Cardinals after the trade. In his first season in the desert, Palmer threw for a career-high 4,274 yards, becoming the first quarterback in league history to throw for at least 4,000 yards for three teams. He did it twice for Cincinnati and once for Oakland. In his 142 games as a starter, Palmer has completed 62.5 per cent of his passes for 35,124 yards with 224 touchdowns and 154 interceptions, for a quarterback rating of 86.4.
