Quote:The moment Laveranues Coles hit the market, Palmer kept pushing to motivate his head coach to lobby for Coles' services in the wake of Houshmandzadeh's departure.
Quote:When the Bengals began moving with negotiations to sign Coles, Palmer called Laveranues himself. He told him how important he felt it would be for him to sign with the Bengals.
Coles stated that Palmer's involvement had a lot to do with his desire to want to play in Cincinnati.
