Palmer asks Bengals to trade him

[Rams Fan]

Carson Palmer will ask the Cincinnati Bengals to trade him and will contemplate retirement if he does not get his wish, according to several sources.


Palmer, the No. 1 overall pick by the Bengals in 2003, was unavailable for comment as he and his wife Shaelynn were awaiting the birth of their third child.

A Bengals spokesman had no comment. The team has Palmer under contract through 2014.

Palmer has become the object of fan frustration in the past two years and sources said he has grown frustrated with the team's inconsistencies. The Bengals finished 4-12 in 2010.

Sources familiar with Palmer's plan and mindset said he is financially secure for the rest of his life and willing to follow through and retire.

Several teams will be in the market for quarterbacks this offseason. Seattle will have an opening at quarterback if the Seahawks can't re-sign Matt Hasselbeck. Palmer won the Heisman Trophy for now-Seahawks coach Pete Carroll at USC in 2002. San Francisco, where his wife was raised, and Arizona could also be options.

Palmer suffered a major knee injury in a first-round playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of the 2005 season. He also suffered an elbow injury in 2008 and considered Tommy John surgery before choosing to rehab without having the operation.

I'm sure he does not want to be a back up, if you were thinking for your team.

[Hammock Parties]

Mecca come back.

No, but I'm thinking would AZ offer a 3rd for him?

Mecca come back.

He'll be here after he's done choking himself while flogging.

Palmer is garbage, and thats coming from a team with Cassel at QB

[BigMeatballDave]

Palmer has never gotten over the psychological issues with his knee injury.

[Over-Head]

I bet the Raiders give up their 1st rd pick. Long as it don't come with a 60mill price tag, don't put it past Al....ANYTHINGS possible, and hell, it's not like he's be the first usless QB we ever had

[Rams Fan]

I bet the Raiders give up their 1st rd pick.

The Pats have already have the Raiders 1st round pick.

[Coach]

Palmer realizes he sucks right?

Well, which one would you prefer?

Cassel or Palmer?

[kstater]

Cassel or Palmer?

You can't be serious can you?

[Coach]

You can't be serious can you?

Hey, I just asked a simple question.

[kstater]

Hey, I just asked a simple question.

The correct answer is not Carson Palmer.

[-King-]

Chad Ochocinco

Carson Palmer demands a trade? Last person demanded a trade in Cincy was crucified by the media n had to win the fans back, how will this go?

[DTLB58]

The Pats have already have the Raiders 1st round pick.

:)

[BigMeatballDave]

The Pats have already have the Raiders 1st round pick.Oh yeah...

[BigMeatballDave]

The correct answer is neitherfyp

[BigMeatballDave]

Palmer has already shown he can play. I think he needs a change of scenery.

[Rain Man]

The last Cincinnati game I saw had Akili Smith as quarterback.

[R8RFAN]

I bet the Raiders give up their 1st rd pick.


Yea we will give up this years first round pick for him...

[BigMeatballDave]

Yea we will give up this years first round pick for him...Per usual, the Crypt Keeper already wasted it.

I'm beginning to think that Mr. Rams Fan's affinity for rams may well go beyond the sport of football.

Palmer has been inbetween a rock (Ochocinco) and a hard place (Cincinnati).

I think he'll be a good pickup for any team looking for a QB (Seattle, 49ers, Tennessee, Vikings, etc...)

[Easy 6]

He's looked awful at worst & inconsistent at best for the last year +, injury & playing for the bungles has taken its toll.

Maybe his injuries are something he can work through, like Kurt Warner struggling to adapt to his injured hand grip issues for a year or so.

Good for him, he wants outta that mess.

He knows it's his only chance to revive his career if that's even possible.

Arizona would be interesting but they lack talent outside of WR.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

FYP


He hasn't been the same since getting Kimo'd

[BigMeatballDave]

That'd be a good landing spot for him, Whisenhunt is a better coach than AZ looked this year IMO, he can get it turned around & even a struggling Palmer is leaps beyond anyone on their roster.

[Fritz88]

He put us on the playoffs.

There seems to be a strange pattern. Cassel. Leinart. Palmer. Sanchez. John David Booty. I'm sure I forgot a couple.... But they all seem to have the same problem.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Yeah, like I mentioned earlier, its psychological.

I'm sure it is, but it's been 5 years. If he hasn't gotten over it by now he probably won't.

[BigMeatballDave]

[googlegoogle]

I miss him.

He had another good year after that.

[KCBOSS1]

I would take him right now over Cassel. NoW

[BigMeatballDave]

He had another good year after that.Thats right. Something else, I forgot about his elbow issues in 08.

[listopencil]

I would take him for the Broncos to back up Tebow. I think Orton is gone and Brady Quinn sucks ass.

Sanchez doesn't suck.

Carson Palmer is apparently determined to leave Cincinnati.

Palmer, who has demanded the Bengals trade him, told a confidant he "will never set foot in Paul Brown Stadium again," WCPO-TV in Cincinnati reported Tuesday.


Bengals owner Mike Brown said in January that he will not trade Palmer because the quarterback is crucial to the team's plans.

Several sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen in January that Palmer will contemplate retirement if the Bengals do not trade him.

According to Tuesday's report, Palmer said "I have $80 million in the bank. I don't have to play football for money. I'll play it for the love of the game but that would have to be elsewhere. I'm prepared to live my life."

Palmer hasn't talked to the media since making his trade request. A text message seeking comment wasn't returned. Agent David Dunn released a statement saying that "because of the lack of success that Carson and the Bengals have experienced together, Carson strongly feels that a separation between him and the Bengals would be in the best interest of both parties."

Palmer was the franchise's building block when it made him the first overall pick in 2003, Marvin Lewis' first season as coach. He led the Bengals to the playoffs in 2005 and 2009 -- their only winning records in the past 20 years -- and rebounded from severe knee and elbow injuries along the way.

The pick isn't wasted... we got Seymour for it. Jamarcus & DHB... now those are wasted picks....

Having an USC Quarterback s liking having a Condom in your wallet, it may make you feel comfortable but won't necessarily help you score.

[ChiefsCountry]

Arizona or Minnesota still make the most sense for Palmer.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I just hope they don't take Gabbert. That's a horrible fucking situation.

[bowener]

Ziggy Wilf just slapped his wife.


He is that excited.
