Jamie_B Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 This just became serious. http://www.kypost.com/dpps/sports/football/bengals/carson-palmer%27s-house-going-up-for-sale_6067701 [quote]Carson Palmer's house going up for sale CINCINNATI - Many times disgruntled sports fans start rumors that an unpopular player's house is up for sale, as if to give fellow malcontents hope things will change if the right buyer comes along. Then there's the case of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer who tells friends the organization doesn't believe he's serious about wanting to play elsewhere. Maybe now they will attach more significance to his request. Channel 9 Sports has learned that Palmer is about to list his Indian Hill home for sale. A local Comey-Shepherd representative confirmed that preparations are being made to put Palmer's residence on the market, hopefully by March. "He's not coming back", according to a real estate agent who talked Wednesday morning with the disenchanted Bengals quarterback. That is the same theme echoed by another associate of Palmer, who says that unless he is released by the Bengals so as to play somewhere else, he is prepared to retire. Palmer asked for the trade following the season that saw the team finish with a 4-12 record. Cincinnati has only had two winning records the past 20 seasons. Bengals owner Mike Brown has gone on record that he will not trade the former Heisman Trophy winner. Jay Gruden took over as offensive coordinator this week but said he would not talk to Palmer until Brown and head coach Marvin Lewis resolve the situation. There is always the chance Palmer could have a change of heart. But one way or another, he'll have a change of address.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always supportive of the team, accepting all responsibility for everyone's mistakes, a "team first, me last" personality... This shit is for real, whether we like it or not. He's done in Cincinnati.

Oh that's right--he's a free agent and probably won't be coming back either. Good luck, Carson--if you think ANY other team will want you with your 11 million dollar salary, you're out of your mind. Enjoy your retirement. Maybe you can follow in Pollock's footsteps and become a color man for USC football games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcat Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 [quote name='Fulcher_33' timestamp='1297258926' post='969234'] Sure you can, the dude rushed for over a thousand yards his rookie season after hardly playing like the first 4 or 5 games, in a shorter season too. The man was a fucking beast and he would have continued doing the same thing had he not gotten injured. He deserves his spot in the Bengals history books as much as anyone else.

scharm Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 You see the "house for sale" angle so much it's hard to put any faith in it. You can't hold on to Carson Palmer's once greatness or future potential. Yes, he could come back and reestablish himself as a top QB. Right now he's been a low 80 rated passer, didn't perform so hot in the most recent playoff game and contributed to a bunch of negative plays out of his position just last season. I don't understand the Brown family holding him hostage. If Mike is so confident in his scouting a low 80 passer should not be that hard to find. Thank him for service, get what you can and move on. Palmer is not a once in a lifetime player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Then I will believe he no longer had any stomach for the game, and was done with it. In that case, I'm fine with it. Happens all the time in sports. But until he drops the Steve Carlton silence, and speaks plainly, I will just assume we'll see him at Georgetown in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
