As expected, the Arizona Cardinals acquired quarterback Carson Palmer from the Oakland Raiders.
The Cardinals gave up a conditional seventh-round 2014 draft pick and swapped one of their sixth-round picks this year for Oakland's seventh-round selection.
* The Cleveland Browns released former Eagles linebacker Chris Gocong.
* NFL teams have been told "it is safe'' for Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei "to participate in professional athletics without restrictions,'' ESPN reported, citing a letter written by Dr. Josef Stehlik, of University of Utah Cardiology. Lotulelei did not work out at the scouting combine because of heart concerns.
