The only way the Raiders win this trade is if they win the SB, which they won't. However, if Palmer continues to play at a high level for the next 3 years, they are in good shape. Oakland is a young team, and given the AFC West's situation, barring anything crazy, they could be a playoff team for the next couple of seasons.
