Most of what you mention is ancient history, and if Palmer had any interest in the actual "truth", he'd be honest about the Bengals' spending spree over the last couple years.
I've never had an issue with any of the players who spoke out in the past. Carson just comes off as bitter though, and frankly looks stupid talking about "cheapness" with a team that's readying for the Super Bowl.
Pat asked him about his time with the Bengals. Pat has crapped on MB for years (rightfully so in some of our opinions).
Carson likes this team, he was on another show talking about Burrow and the defense free agents, I'll try to find it.
It is really weird seeing people defend MB after the last 30 years in which so many of us had legitimate reasons to complain? Carson was referring to a portion of that era, when asked. Context is important obviously with some of the replies.
I guess I think of it as we have had 1 year in 31 with a playoff win - hell a SB run. It's fantastic. But in 31 years how crazy are the odds that one team can put together a run despite having the least resources? The players bargaining agreement forced owners to spend way more money on salaries, which is part of the reason we did (not saying it is 100%), and we still have the tiniest scouting dept and the only team without a facility.
Lets do all we can to sustain this success - improve draft pics and build a facility we can call home - it wont persuade FA's but it shows commitment that a SB team, a Joe Burrow team, deserves.
