Bengals Players "Privately Support" QB Carson Palmer's Decision To Walk Away

One day in late January, the Cincinnati Bengals died. In the weeks before that day quarterback Carson Palmer, according to several Bengals players, began to have private conversations with a handful of teammates about his future in Cincinnati. His bitterness, he told players, had reached an all-time high and became unmanageable. Palmer spoke with Mike Brown and eventually coach Marvin Lewis to demand a trade. "Can we talk you out of this?" Lewis asked, according to a person close to Palmer. The Bengals asked Palmer if he would reconsider but Palmer had clearly already made his decision. "There were split feelings about Carson in the locker room. A lot of players privately support Carson," said one Bengals player who like several others spoke on the condition of anonymity, fearing retribution from management. "There are guys who wish they could afford to do what he did. Others have just let it go. They've blocked him out."

I'm getting tired of hearing about this soap opera.

 

I'm calling BS on this one..Why don't they just trade Palmer and get something worth of value did they not learn from when Sanders did this exact samething????
