I dont blame him one bit for wanting out after years of dealing with Brown's BS. The guy has prepared his whole life for a chance to be on a winning team and Brown/Lewis weren't going to do that (and time has shown he is right) Also, teams cut players loose before contracts end and on top of it he walked away from MILLIONS of dollars. That tells you how bad it is that it wasn't about the money for him but a solid chance at winning.
Im looking forward to the show, and loved Palmer and was very disappointed when he left because I did love his playing. I wasn't personally upset like he was a girlfriend breaking up with me on here like some people act.
I wished him the best when he left, and if anyone should be salty then it should be focused on Brown for not putting the right coach and organization in a position to win...which still hasn't come remotely close since he's taken over for his father.
he walked away from millions or could cause we had already put over 100 million into his bank account.
That's what he said at the time.. I have over 100 million in the bank if I don't play football again ill be okay.
Maybe he wasn't getting what he wanted.. He surely didn't get it anywhere else he went either. I liked palmer for the hope he brought originally
and enjoyed his time here and time on hard knocks was great.. I don't hate him its a business... He made a choice.. It will definitely rub fans that take everything personally the wrong way.
But in the end he forced the bengals to change their ways a bit. I don't think Bradkowski would have been let go that year if not for trying to lure palmer back.(which is enough reason to still like the guy.)
