    After a decade in the NFL searching for the right pieces and the right team, Carson Palmer has found a home in Arizona. And the Cardinals want him to stay awhile.

    The team announced Friday that it signed Palmer to a three-year extension, which will keep him under contract through 2017. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the pact is worth $50 million with roughly $20 million guaranteed through 2015, according to a source who has seen the deal.

    It's a remarkable story for a quarterback nearly a decade removed from his playing for his only legitimate title-contending team -- the 2005 Cincinnati Bengals with Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Palmer tore his knee ligaments in the team's first playoff game that season, sparking an NFL rule change and a wandering search for Palmer's mojo. Enter Bruce Arians. [More]

    Good signing for he Cardinals. Leaves them with some stability at the QB position for a few seasons...
