hell no... carson palmer + frank gore? that's your one-two punch. never trade away your one-two punch.

your RB corp is really weak though... from frank gore to benson? and your sub is tatum bell?!? hm..... do some trade that get you a better RB but not this trade.

why do you want to trade carson palmer? he's one of the top guys.. tony romo? hm... your QB is fine so stay that way. plus, why do you want to trade with this guy? try someone else...

I almost think the 2nd trade is worse for you than the first trade was. Giving up Gore and Palmer would be rough, but if you could find a way to make your team a lot better then do it (but not in either of those trades unless you can get LT in return).

I actually think your team is a lot weaker at WR than it is at RB. You have Colston (good receiver last year, should be decent again this year), then you have Driver and Galloway. Driver might be ok because Green Bay will be playing from behind a lot this year so that might help you with Driver, but don't expect much out of Galloway.

Wait to see what happens with Kevin Jones in Detroit, if he sits out than Tatum Bell is the #1 option at RB and if the improvements Detroit made to the offense go well then he could be your 2nd RB instead of Benson. I'd say give the season a couple weeks unless someone offers you a blockbuster trade that you just can't refuse. Sometimes teams turn out better than you expect.
