Palmer was selected 15th overall by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2001 CFL Draft. Initially, he aimed to stay in the CFL, with Montreal holding his rights. However, in September 2005, the Ottawa Renegades tried to acquire him as their top quarterback, expressing interest in playing for his hometown. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers on November 1, 2005, due to quarterback injuries. Unfortunately, he was released without playing when the injured quarterbacks returned three weeks later. After being re-signed by the 49ers in March 2006, Palmer was released in August. Palmer retired from the CFL before the 2007 season, pursuing a broadcasting career.
