Carson Palmer wants the Bengals to trade him and he's contemplating retirement if it doesn't happen. Is that an idle threat or is he really going to pull a Barry Sanders?
I think it's serious, and it ma well be wise for him. Send him to SF where the NEED a quarterback, and Harbaugh has done well in college at least. Go to Seattle and he gets to play for his old college coach. (The guys on ESPN or Fox were talking about this today). The guy is expecting his third child any day now, and he says he's already got enough money. I can't lame him for trying to get once last shot at a title.
But for the Bengals, I wish he'd consider staying just a bit longer. With Owens and Ochocinco out of the picture for certain.... they might just be the better team so many pictured for this season.
