Bengals won’t trade Carson Palmer

 07.26.11 at 3:38 pm ET
By

Bengals owner Mike Brown said that the team had no intention of trading quarterback Carson Palmer, who told the team that he would retire rather than continue to play for the team that drafted him first overall in 2003. Palmer has four years left on his contract, but Brown said the Bengals were ready to move on without him.

“I honestly like Carson Palmer,” Brown said. “He was a splendid player for us. He’s a good person. I wish him well. And he is retired. That is his choice. … I’m not expecting him to be back.”

To that end the team drafted Andy Dalton from TCU in the second round who will get a chance to win the starting job.

    And now the Bungles get nothing for a decent QB. I guess we know whey they never win it all. As a Steeler fan I find this all very entertaining.

    I have been a lifelong Bengals fan which is not easy to begin with. After seeing this it has finally sunk in the the Bengals will never get it done. This opportunity to get some value out of a bad situation has been wasted. I should expect this by now! I will finally be rooting on a different team this year. Anyone but the Bengals!!! Thanks Mike Brown!

  • JoeLikesBeer

    @Rob – Steeler fans are easily entertained. Don’t forget you had to break his knee so you could make it to the Superbowl.

  • Steel Curtain

    Apparently Bengals fans are easily entertained to put up the the Bengals organization!

    I have lived in Cincinnati most of my life, and I have put up with Mike Brown for way too long. The entire Brown family is clueless as to how to run a pro football team. I wish Caron the best, and my heart goes out to Andy Dalton who has to come and play here. The Browns have made a mockery of our team, they are simply the worst owners in the history of the NFL. F**K you Mike Brown, you are utterly worthless.

  • Mike Brownee

    hi!

  • Stick

    MIKE BROWN HAS GOT TO BE THE WORST OWNER ALIVE , POSSIBLY EVER !! WHAT A SORRY-ASS CHUMP – HE CARES NOTHING ABOUT HIS FANS – PAUL BROWN IS SPINNING IN HIS GRAVE !! – HERE’S HOPING THE BUNGLES LOSE EVERY GAME THIS YEAR AND NEXT !! I HOPE THEY LOSE MILLIONS IN REVENUE AND THAT THE FANS GO ON STRIKE !!

    Imagine your car is being repossessed by the bank. It’s not fair, but the court has already decided the matter. There is no appeal. The sheriff is at the door. The bank is taking your car and you’re entitled to nothing in return.

    But then the bank sends you a letter with a check for $10,000. Do you throw it away, or do you cash it? You’re mad as Hell at the bank, of course. But what if your kid’s tuition is $10,000 and also due that day? Still throw it away, despite the needs of your family? Of course not. You’re responsible. You deposit the check and you go on with your life.

    But you’re not the Bengals.

    If the Bengals do nothing with Carson Palmer, they get nothing, but still need much. Alternatively, they can trade him and get something, anything, that will help them win.

    But the Bengals would rather throw a tantrum. And that’s precisely the kind of irresponsible incompetence that would make someone like Carson Palmer choose retirement over taking another snap for that team.

  • Carsons tears

    I also blame Carson for this. He has 4 years on a contract he signed. he could have gone for a shorter contract, but he wanted the money and a huge contract. he needs to play it out. What is the point of a contract if you can terminate it at any time? this is as ridiculous as Eli Manning refusing to play for San Diego. The difference, Eli has a Superbowl ring. Carson, never won a playoff game.

  • Holly

    I can not see why anyone would root for such a second class team anyhow. They have never and will never be a contender. They have the talent but no drive or leadership. They say even a blind squirrel finds a nut ever now and then, that make them blind, deaf, and dumb….Much like their owner.

  • Bags

    @Holly– they did go to the super bowl, though a wicked long time ago– if you lived in or around cincy, you would probably root for them; almost everyone roots for their ‘home town’ team. seems pretty stupid onetheless to 1) get nothing for Palmer and 2) continue to have Marvin Lewis as your coach- maybe he is more malleable than most, and that is why the owner likes him. feel bad for bengals fans, but not that bad; i had to suffer through decades of incompetence as a Pats fan before the franchise turned around and became a winner– glad i wasn’t a fair weather fan who opted to root for someone else
