Bengals Still Refusing to Trade Palmer

Check out this quote from Mike Brown in a recent article on NFL.com by Albert Breer:


"We don't plan to trade Carson," Brown said Monday at the NFL Spring Meeting. "He's important to us. He's a very fine player, and we do want him to come back. If he chooses not to, he'd retire. And we would go with Andy Dalton, the younger player we drafted, who's a good prospect.
"Ideally, we'd have both of them. That'd be the best way to go forward. If we don't have Carson, we'll go with Andy."
Looks like Mike Brown is living up to his stubborn reputation and we'll get to see if Palmer is bluffing or not. It would probably take a big offer to get Palmer out of Cincy, and teams will likely be unwilling to pay too much for the aging (31) Palmer; he produced a career high in turnovers (23) last season and has averaged only 208.1 YPG over his last three seasons.
