Read what Megatron had to say about his early retirement in Detroit. He pretty much said the same thing, and retired. From what I gather, it's also what led Barry Sanders to call it quits early.
And NFL players wonder why teams don't want to significantly front-load a contract or still have incentives in contracts....so this kind of situation doesn't happen.
I don't really remember hearing Palmer say he wanted to retire, but just that he didn't want to be here any longer. And, judging by his play, he didn't really want to be a Raider. Again, Kurt Warner: Man. Carson Palmer: Quitter.
