Carson and the Raiders agreed to terms the Raiders asked him to change (because owners hold the cards) and he said no thanks, I'd rather not allow you to reduce my contract and remove guarantees to which you agreed earlier.  The Raiders didn't want to pay out Carson's contract so he asked them to trade him, and they did.  I can see how Bengals fans could get mad at Carson for leaving Cincinnati, but to act like he's a big cry baby for not allowing Oakland to renege on their contract with him is just self-serving crap.

No, he strong armed his way out so he could "play for a contender" as PFT said above.   If the moron had gone ahead and played for the Bengals instead of leaving he would have gotten AJ Green to throw to.
