Palmer admitted himself that his reasons were "selfish". Short of the team screwing with his money or wife, I can't see a justifiable reason for his departure.
That's why I could care less for him. He made it clear what he thought about my team by the way he exited.
Meh, Carson didn't want to play for Marvin Lewis anymore. As long as Marvin Lewis = Bengals to you then you are right, Carson doesn't want to play for your team. But this team is bigger than Marvin Lewis, regardless of your thoughts on his retention after 2010.
Players have a hard time winning the salary or trade-me battles because they are going against owners who are viewed as "THE TEAM" in the eyes of fans. It's unfair in a sense, but that's why players are in on the business and we are not. So it goes.
