According to a report from WCPO’s Dennis Janson, Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is preparing to put his house up for sale. A couple weeks ago, Palmer made news by demanding a trade from the Bengals. Not long afterwards, Bengals owner Mike Brown stated he had no intention of trading the quarterback. Here is a quote from the WCPO report.

“He’s not coming back”, according to a real estate agent who talked Wednesday morning with the disenchanted Bengals quarterback.

Good for him, tell Mikey to go to hell. The more players who stand up to his stupidity the better.

Somebody call Mr. Pike.

Where's Jordan going to live now? Assuming Mike Brown doesnt can him too.

Problem is, it won't do a damn bit of good. Mikey will just draft another QB, like he always does.

$2.025 million. 13 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths.

Daddy always said to be firm with the help.

This won't raise the pulse of anyone in that family one beat. Carson either retires or he will be in camp at Georgetown. Binary solution.

Esp. Mike Brown. Dude hasn't had a pulse in years.

Could he just unretire in a year, and be a free agent? Wouldn't this just essentially be Carson taking a year off?

no, he'd be the Bengals' property.

Year off = Rusty QB?

Carson Palmer’s house going up for sale



It looks as if the change in offensive coordinators still has not lessened Carson Palmer’s resolve to leave the Bengals.

A representative at Comey & Shepherd confirmed on Wednesday that Palmer’s five-bedroom house on five acres in Indian Hill is being prepared to be put on the market, with the listing going up early next month.

Reports have indicated that Palmer would retire if he isn’t traded, but Palmer has not done an interview since after the Bengals 13-7 loss to Baltimore on Jan. 2. He would be entering his ninth season after being the top overall pick by the Bengals in 2003.

A real estate agent who spoke with Palmer told WCPO: “He’s not coming back”. http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/sports/football/...p-for-sale

The last statement out of the Palmer camp came through his agent, David Dunn, on Jan. 24 at the Senior Bowl where Palmer indicated though Dunn that “Because of the lack of success that Carson and the Bengals have experienced together, Carson strongly feels that a separation between him and the Bengals would be in the best interest of both parties.”

Earlier that day, team president Mike Brown reiterated his stance that Palmer would not be traded. The Bengals finished 4-12 this past season and Palmer tied a career high with 20 interceptions, five of which were returned for touchdowns. He also set a team record for pass attempts with 586.

Jay Gruden, the Bengals new offensive coordinator, said on Monday that he had not planned to speak with Palmer until everything was ironed out and letting Brown and coach Marvin Lewis handle that.

When asked though if he planned on Palmer being his starting quarterback in 2011, Gruden said: “Until I hear something different we’re going to go forward with him as our quarterback. That’s the only approach I can take right now. Whether it’s right or wrong I do not know but that’s the way I’m going about things.”

Palmer has four years and $50 million remaining on his contract. Even if the Bengals wanted to hear from other teams what they might offer for Palmer, nothing can happen until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached.

Among those who might be in the market for Palmer are Arizona and San Francisco.

The Bengals could also release Palmer without sustaining a cap hit, since the remaining money is base salary, but that remains highly unlikely. With the uncertainty at quarterback, they could look to that position with the fourth overall pick in the April 28-30 draft.

wouldn't the quarterback be the first person a new o coordinator would want to talk to, especially a disgruntled one?

Maybe Jay did and he didn't change Carson's mind. And, frankly, who could blame him...

No, because Palmer's made it clear that it has nothing to do with the offensive system. It has to do with being an employee for a losing organization that only cares about making money. Mike Brown sucks.

Pretty good discussion on WLW sportstalk tonight about this.

Mike Brown thinks he has to stand up to these trade demands. I think he gets more up for fighting these kinds of battles than for anything else football related. He tries to be a tough guy and all he does is reinforce how bad this organization is. Why force a guy to be here that doesn't want to be? And what does this do to his teammates? Do they welcome him back with open arms? Carson is basically saying this organization is a mess and the team can't win, which includes the players. The players are probably looking back at him and all the INT's he threw and saying he's as much of the problem as they are.

It reminds me of when Washington supposedly offered a #1 and #3 pick for Chad Johnson and Mike kept him. Or New Orleans offered all those picks for the Bengals top of the round pick and they turned it down. Mike Brown is a complete idiot. His bullheadedness continues to hamper this team.

And what does it do to ticket sales with a lame duck QB situation? Wouldn't it give fans a little more hope if they traded CP for a pick or multiple picks and atleast got something for him? And maybe signed a journeyman QB to get by for a year and draft another one to develop? Lance said that CP was rated 19th out of all the starting QB's last year. 19th!!!! He is not an All Pro QB. He is not an elite QB. This team is going nowhere with him. The fact that he wants traded shows his quitter mentality. And the fans are in a lame duck situation too, not knowing what direction this team is headed. It has to be wonderful for season ticket sales.......(sarcasm).

Move on without him. Trade him. There are plenty of teams out there with poor QB situations.

This whole situation is going to drag on through spring workouts, the draft, and then preseason training camp and be a black cloud hanging over the whole team and organization. They need to make a decision soon on this. The longer it goes on, the worse it will get.

But Mike Brown is a moron. He will hold his ground and in the end, GAIN NOTHING.

Some of ya'll just keep saying Mike Brown will do this or won't do that, he's an idiot (which he is not) and this is what he's going to do. People were screaming about his press conference and I asked that we give him some time and now we have a new coordinator (for better or worse).

I feel the same about this. Wait and see. If Carson walks, good riddance, thanks but we can fix that in time. Be patient and see what happens.

Please don't think I am in Mikey's camp as I think he should retire and get a decent GM in here, but at least give him the opportunity. you can always tear him apart later.

Like all of you, I have no idea what the Bengals will do in April but now more than ever I think it would make sense to trade down if they can.

Take a first round pick and low-ball him in the contract offer.

We've given him 2 decades of opportunities. Enough is enough.
