Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
NFL.com news: Bengals owner holds firm on denial of Palmer's trade request
All I can say is: 1. Palmer better make good on his retirement threat and... 2. The owner is a moron.

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
That's why the Bunguls won't win anything. Ego over business!!!

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
For all the shit we gave Dan Snyder, just be glad our owner isn't Mike Brown. He's more concerned with money than he is with winning.

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
I wouldn't say that. Rather he's more concerned with winning meaningless battles then he is with winning the war.

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
Not surprising. I know people like to sh*t on our ownership, but the Bengals could have easily have a ton of picks between Chad Ochocinco (a season or two ago) and now Palmer. Whoever loses out on the Kolb sweepstakes is likely to overpay for Palmer is he was available.

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
Not a surprise. But also, what else is he going to say?

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
They need to have a reality show on some NFL people and name it "Biggest Idiot". Each week, they each act as normal and the one that does the least idiotic thing gets booted off. Cast so far:
Mike Brown Al Davis Vinny Cerrato Daniel Snyder Jerry Jones AJ Smith I just pity Bengal fans sometimes. Brown could have had a 1st and 3rd (potentially another 1st based on performance escalators) for Ocho a few years back courtesy of our very own village idiot. They turn that down and now are turning down at least a 2nd rounder for Palmer, who would rather get nothing than deal him. This situation reminds me exactly what happened to Barry Sanders. The Lions were getting offers for Barry years after he retired..lol ****ing idiots. |

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
Well even if they were planning on trading him, they'd probably say they weren't. Given that they aren't able to trade him right now, there is no reason for them to tell everyone they are going to. Only the redskins destroy a players value before trading them.

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
Someone is going to give. I doubt Palmer will retire. That sounds like an idle threat. He had a tough season this past year too, I'm sure he doesn't want to go out on that note.

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
The Eagles have been open about trading away Kolb... is that destroying his value?

I would just say in that case folks can draw a line to Vick as the reason they are trading him, maybe if the Bengals were open to trading away Palmer some may thing he has diminishing talent thus lowering his value.

Re: Bungles owner does not plan to trade Carson Palmer
I think the whole thing about diminishing a player's value is way overblown. Teams have a good idea of what other teams are doing and thinking regardless of what is said in public. Acknowledging a player is on the trade block isn't an uncommon tactic, nor does it ruin trade value like some seem to think.

I would be dumb for them to trade Kolb if they can keep him without huge cap ramifications. Vick had a nice start last season, but sort of faded to his ATL type days at the end there. |
