Palmer’s not worth a first-round pick, but maybe a 2nd-rounder and cash, since that’s what Mike Brown’s all about.

I’m betting Palmer wants to go home, and the Niners are not a bad fit, nor are the Cards. But be careful what you wish for, Carson: the Bengals might try to trade you to, say, Buffalo.

Mike Brown will call his bluff. Brown is stubborn (stupid) and will never let a player dictate what he does.

Something tells me that Marvin Lewis not getting fired has a lot to do with Carson Palmer wanting to leave.

If the Bungles were to trade him, what would they need in return for an aging QB that wants out?….thinking maybe a 5th or 6th? I don’t think they would do better than that!?

Vikes draft a QB early this year(or next) and trade next years 6th for Palmer who can bridge the 3 year gap for the youngster.

He can follow the rest of the Superstar Vikes QB’s to wear #9……..Tommy Kramer and Jim McMahon.

I hope this turns out to be nothing. As many of you are aware, Carson has said he reads this website and the news stories that follow with it. I for one would like to tell Carson to please stay. I just purchased season tickets for the 2011 season, because I liked him and the team that much. And I live in MARYLAND. 10 hours away. I think its well worth it to travel to see them play.

I know a lot of fans and people here would critize me for saying any of this, But in the interest of my money and the Bengals as a whole, I really hope to see him return to Cincinnati, Carson is not the problem here.

Just maybe its the surroundings, but Im not a coach or a player. I enjoy watching a great QB, and a good team with all of the elements of a team that should be playing today.

There is no way Harbaugh would take Palmer in SF. If he trades for anyone it would be Kolb in Philly or Josh Johnson in TB. Johnson is probably the more likely since the Eagles supposedly will want more than a 1st rounder and he will only cost the team 2 mil next year. Good insurance for the Eagles if Vick goes down. Johnson was Harbaugh’s QB at SD and would be good for a 3rd or 4th rounder until he can find a good prospect for the future.

We are a mess. Carson needs to realize he is a big part of the problem. Yes, receivers ran bad routes at times-but how many times did he make poor decisions or miss wide open receivers when he had minimal pressure. He has not given the leadership the team needs and fans expect from a franchise QB.

The always big question is -who in the organization has the experience building a winning team? Making money has always taken a front seat to putting a winning product on the field. Mike Brown your fan base pleads- please put someone in charge that knows the football side of the business. You consider yourself a redeemer for taking on headcases when we all know it is just looking for a bargain on talent.

Come on-show the city and the fanbase you can be a class act. Show you care. We are tired of losing and hearing about past performance indicating future performance. We all know too well the definition of insanity.

I lost interest in this team (other than as a source of mockery) years ago, but it seems to me Mikey Brown never grants trade requests, or caves to the demands of players, coaches, fans, taxpayers, other owners, etc. He’s a lonely bitter loser, with a typical lawyer’s mentality, who has been screwing over everyone in his wake for 20+ years (especially Hamilton County taxpayers). Let’s also not forget how wrong ESPN got the story of Marvin Lewis’ imminent departure (turns out he never had any demands at all in order to stay..lol), so I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes another non-story. Kudos to Palmer if he does retire though, because that’s the ONLY way he gets out of Cincy next year.

Hmm only Ocho is a cry baby? I’ve been saying that both Palmer and Ocho are idiots for gets but no. You got to fall in love with the QB.

Blind man can see what this is about. The timing suggests this is a message to Bengals management regarding their recent flirtation with Colonel Klink, known in some circles as Brad Childress. Klink’s history of conflict with quarterbacks is well-documented. After the disastrous Mike Brown/Marvin Lewis press conference of a few weeks ago, I think Carson felt
he needed to make a statement.

i bet Palmer wants to wear red and gold. who wouldnt want to play on a team with Harbaugh and the weapons the offense has? plus he would be back in CA. makes too much sense.

If Carroll has the opportunity to get him he’ll do whatever he has to to get him. And if he does get him, he’ll cry out of joy like Dick Vermeil.

I’m a Panthers fan, Palmer looked like hot garbage this year and I’d still take him over anything we have right now.

What has Carson Palmer done lately??? What has he done to make this team better? 4-12, 8-8 He doesn’t win any games himself? He lost 2 or 3 games by his lack of going down the field. Since he hurt his leg he hasn’t done anything worthy of asking for a trade, the Bengals need to ask for a refund!

This perfectly sums up why Palmer will never be the top-level QB he was hyped up to be.

Let’s see, the QB has the greatest impact of any player on the field. When a QB wants out because he doesn’t like how the team has done, he’s basically saying, hey, I’m happy to collect the big bucks based on being the QB — but I won’t take responsibility for the losing! No, not my fault! Send me somewhere else where I can win!

I knew Palmer was a choker. I didn’t know what a non-responsibility-taking wuss he is.

Sure, Cincy was fine back when they gave you a top-shelf OL, three genuine receiving threats, and a 1,500-yard rusher for ground support. You gladly took that, padded your stats, then collected the big bucks. But now, when things get tough! Wahhh! I want out.

Be careful any team that takes this non-leader. You getting a choker and a little child. The adult takes responsibility, instead of running away. Which is what he’s doing.

Welcome to “journeyman” status, Palmer. You’ve earned it.

I don’t know why Seattle is on that list… I’d take Hasselbeck over Palmer any day of the week. Yes, Seattle has to still sign him, but….

Way to get a Raider jab in there. The raiders havent even show intrest in the guy and you are somehow making it out like Palmer doesnt want to play there because of some other guy that the Raiders havent show intrest in. Why not just link palmer and Ochocinco to every ex-bengal coach…….since they had a ton of success in cincy.

NFL’s online store currently has Palmer jerseys half-price.

That might be normal for all Bengals jerseys though…

The fact remains on this story (as all others about trades) is there is no way he will be traded because he can’t until a new CBA is agreed upon. Until that point, this is a moot point.

Who wants to pay franchise QB price for a mediocre QB that is perenially “on the way back” and has won jack? Heck, the guy who used to back him up outplayed Palmer this year, despite a huge disadvantage in the supporting cast.

Palmer is just another of the typical USC skill position players of the last decade. They care about the life, not about the football. The only winners from that school are of the defensive side of the ball.
