Carson Palmer "will never set foot in Paul Brown Stadium again"

[Black]

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."

Mike Brown is such a hardass, he'll let this guy retire before he gives in to trade demands.

[SOJA]

He'll retire and sign a nice contract here, and his family will settle down in the sprawling suburban area of Charlotte

Yeah dude, who wants a good quarterback when we can draft one that refers to himself in third person and calls himself an icon. We would be idiots to pass on a proven starter like Palmer. A career 87.0 QB rating playing for the fuging Bungles. No need for that kind of stability here.

Sh!t, so Clausen is starting against Cincinnati?

Yea dood, i was totally wrong how could we pass up an aging QB that has never won a playoff game for his team and is overrated and is an injury risk who is already talking retirement.

what a boon that has been dropped upon us he is going to take us to 12-4 and beyond

[Catalyst]

Well since he doesn't need to play for money maybe once we sign him he'll take the veteran minimum? :D

[pantherclaw]

Let him retire.

Unless the browns release his rights, he cannot go to another team.

Let him retire.

I'm not so sure of that now. Not the way Marvin Lewis is talking.
