Bengals would not grant him a trade so he has chose to retire. And the Bengals wonder why they don't win. Palmer is a decent qb that they could have got some good picks for to help build their team with.

The Bungels are playing hard ball with Carson...calling his bluff. I don't think it's over yetComment -
I think he will be traded before the season begins. No way Palmer walks away from the nfl.Comment -
Thats tough I figured thats what he would do since he sold his house in Cincinnati. I'm sure Cinci could have still worked out a good trade for him. I'm sure this isn't the last we've seen of CarsonComment -
Palmer was good for a few early years then turned into a major flop
A scared loser on the fieldComment -
Big name but average playComment -
I'd be scared in the pocket too after the abuse he has taken from Steelers' backers over the years, thought the guy was gonna get killed some plays with the way his blindside blocked and his lack of mobility. He had all of the potential in the world but got drafted to a shit team that is stuck to the mindset that you keep buying high priced receivers and not improving other, important areas.. such as O-line. As much as I don't care for the Bengals, I would actually like to see Palmer get a second chance with a fresh start.Comment -
He never recovered from the injury he received early in a playoff game. We'll never really know his true talent because of that.Comment -
He made a committment by signing a contract with Cincy. He should keep it. Good for them.Comment -
Great qbs usually get drafted by shit teams. If he was the player he was touted to be, he wouldve risen above it and made the bengals better, like so many other great past nfl qbs. He took them to playoffs once. Crying to get out of your contract and team because u dont like your situation is weak. I hope he stays retired. Look at warner in arizona. weak offensive line and great receivers. simlilar to palmers tenure in cincy. he didnt cry. just took em to a super bowl. palmer is an overpaid, overhyped whiner. of course my favorite all time nfl player is john elway, and he whined his way into a 5 super bowl career, so what do i know?

Bengals should let him rot!
Teach others a lesson.Comment -
Yeah but Kurt Warner is officially, mentally retarded now... how many concussions did he have, 10 or so?Great qbs usually get drafted by shit teams.

he will be back must be nice to retire at 30Comment -
He'll retire now - then come back at a later date with someone else. I'm guessing backup status though. Not sure what system he'd fit in right now as a #1.Comment -
i would trade romo as a skeptikal boys fanComment -
Oh ok, zbar mentioned the playoffs and injury and you commented on it and I was almost certain it was his ACL... I didn't even know he had another injury, the one you are talking about... guy has had his fair share of bad luck... seems like a descent guy and to have to put up with that core of wide outs, would actually like to see him do well againComment -
You cannot win with bums
Cincy made a great move
Football is a young gameComment -
totally agree,if u sign a contract,u should honor your contract,funny how guys always thinki they can do what they want but glad to see the owners show him that they are the bosses not the players.maybe after trying to survive on a regular job he would appreciate what he hadComment -
Kinda sad, but hopefully the Bengals keep him around as a QB coach or something.Comment -
You've also got to try to make your franchise attractive to free agents. You think a player looking for a team sees how the Bengals mismanaged this and then says to himself, "Oh, yeah, there's a team I want to play for." Yeah, right.Comment -
the NFL just got 1/32 x better
this guy is living off the glory of one good season. hes a scam. hes awful. threw more terrible picks than degenerates on this forumComment -
if brown is playing hard ball while owning a shitty team he can't expect them to get better in the future. no future draft picks will want to sign with this team. 5 more years and the bungholes won't be a team anymore
Comment -
even if he does come back elsewhere... he will fade away quickly. reminds me of the second coming of tim couch.Comment -
Palmer will not retired too much money left on the contract.Comment -
JJ,
I understand a lot of the sh*t you say is just to stimulate forum traffic. I get that. But this is stupid even by your standards.
Let's say for a second that Carson Palmer is a bum. He isn't but for the sake of argument let's say he is.
To say that Cincy "made a great move" is just moronic. You are Cincy. You think Palmer's a bum. Please tell me how its a great move to let him retire rather than trade him and get something back to help your football team? This is what's known as cutting off your nose to spite your face.
It's not a great move by Mike Brown and the Bengals, its just the latest dumbass move in a string of seemingly endless dumbass moves...Comment -
This is why Cinci hasnt been worth shit in forever. And why betting against them onthe blind made guys a gold mine for years. While Palmer is slightly over rated he did make them almost respectable there for a couple years. But now it is going to be the same old bengals all over again. If guys want a good 55% win rate just bet against Cinci every week. Tats what they have been doing the past decade, and that includes a couple seasons where they won more ATS than they lost. Actually back to 2000 they are 74-98-5 against widely available numbers. Shopping around and betting against them I am sure you could have seen a 107 or 108 and 70 record, which is about 61%.
So seriously if people bet football anymore just bet against Cinci on the blind every week. You'll probably see 10-6 this year.Comment
wasn't it his ACL
