"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals have released quarterback John Skelton, who started 17 games for the team over the past three seasons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The move on Monday came amid reports the team was trying to work out a trade to bring quarterback Carson Palmer from Oakland.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Skelton beat out Kevin Kolb for the starting job under then-coach Ken Whisenhunt in training camp last season. He was hurt in the opener and Kolb took over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Skelton returned as starter when Kolb was injured, but lost the job due to poor performance. The Cardinals released Kolb earlier and he has agreed to a contract with Buffalo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, quarterback Brian Hoyer has signed his tender offer from the club. Running back William Powell and defensive back Ronald Talley also re-signed with the Cardinals.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
