Well, Palmer had better start looking into country club memberships in Arizona or Florida. Or start denying that he ever requested a trade. Bengals owner Mike Brown said, [url="http://twitter.com/bengals"][color="#3b5998"]via the team's Twitter account[/color][/url], "We are not trading Carson." Brown, for some reason, also said that Palmer did indeed request a trade last week. (This will make it much tougher for Palmer to deny his trade desires.) So what the Bengals have is an overpaid quarterback whom they've publicly acknowledged does not want to be there. Palmer, unlike [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/235222"][color="#3b5998"]Chad Ochocinco[/color][/url], did the organization a favor by keeping his request quiet.

spicoli Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Mike Brown says Bengals won’t trade Carson Palmer Posted by Mike Florio on January 24, 2011, 11:21 AM EST We’ll it’s official. Bengals owner Mike Brown has confirmed that quarterback Carson Palmer has requested a trade. And Brown says he declined. “We are not trading Carson,” Brown said, in a quote posted by the team on Twitter. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that Palmer wants out, and that he’ll possibly retire if he’s not traded. Since all of Palmer’s signing bonus money has been counted toward years he has played under his current deal, which runs through 2014, Palmer could retire without having to forfeit to the Bengals any money that he previously has received. That said, he’d also be giving up nearly $50 million in future salaries, assuming that the Bengals keep him for each of the next four years. Palmer turned 31 on December 27, 2010, and he presumably has at least another five years left, if he chooses to keep playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 [b]Bengals turn down Palmer trade request; No Cincy Chilly[/b] By GEOFF HOBSON Posted 4 minutes ago MOBILE, Ala. _ Bengals president Mike Brown confirmed Monday that quarterback [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/carson-palmer/b2e2fb04-af84-4af9-9491-5c1dd3354623/"]Carson Palmer[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] met with him last week and requested a trade and that he turned him down. "Carson is central to what we do. We have no plans to trade him," Brown said here at the Senior Bowl. "We are not taking offers." Brown was surprised to hear that Palmer would contemplate retirement if not traded and he indicated he thought that was not a very real possibility. Brown reiterated his admiration for Palmer and said he felt "we can fit it back together." He said Palmer was not specifc about his complaints, but "we'll reach out to him." "He's good people," Brown said. "He didn't point the finger." Brown also said former Vikings head coach Brad Childress, thought to be a candidate for offensive coodinator, won't be coming to the Bengals. He didn't say if there were other candidates.

Jim Finklestein Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Mike Brown should be found mentally incompetent to run an NFL Franchise. Lewis wants to replace Brat- No Terrel Owens says the problem is Brat- No Benson has a problem with Brat- No now the face of the franchise- No Someone remind me why I love this team! It's not like there were any extended glory day periods. They don't have the illustrious history that the Packers, Bears, Chiefs, Pittsburgh or Dallas has.

The battle was lost when you let a 4-12 coach throw you under a bus and actually let speculation of his demands run through the media then belly up to the negotiation table with him. It's fucked up. Marvin's ass should have been gone after Tampa. Plain and simple. With very little cost he'd at least have Zimmer coaching and building hype today. Now he's got a mess. Could have been completely different. I'm just waiting for the next Bengal figure to emerge and carry the flag of the fans. Keep in mind to just get a shitty OC fired! Crazy. First it's TO, then Marvin, then Carson. Maybe Katie will threaten disownment. Of course Paul Brown Jr would love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown also said that he told Palmer that it would not be something that the team would consider doing at this time. “He is key to our plans, he’s central to us,” Brown said. “He was told that and that we count on him going forward. He was told that we are not in a position to trade him.” When asked if he thought Palmer would go through with his plans to retire if he didn’t get traded, Brown said that whole idea seemed impractical. “We’ll just have to see how it plays out,” Brown said. “We’ll reach out to him and understand the things that are in his craw. Maybe there are things we can do that will appeal to him. We’ll try to and see whether we can get it fit back together again in the future.” According to Brown, the meeting was amicable and that Palmer “didn’t finger anyone or anything. … He’s a great player and equally a fine person.” This past season Palmer set a team record for pass attempts with 586, completing 362 (61.8 percent) for 3970 yards with 26 touchdowns and 20 interceptions (passer rating of 82.4). The interceptions tied a career high and five of those were returned for touchdowns.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
