Carson Palmer has Retired

Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown has been called stubborn due to his unwillingness to give-in to quarterback Carson Palmer's release or trade him demand. With that demand, Carson Palmer has told the team, and media, that he will retire unless he gets his way. Today the Bengal's owner has finally recognized that, in fact, saying "Carson Palmer has retired," according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Brown issued his hardest statement yet on the matter during Tuesday’s pre training camp press conference at Paul Brown Stadium.

Said Brown: “I honesty like Carson Palmer. He was a splendid player for us. He is a good person. I wish him well and he has retired. That is his choice.”

“I’m not expecting him to be back. Carson signed a contract, he made a commitment. He gave us his word. We relied on his word and his commitment. We expected him to perform here. If he is going to walk away from his commitment we aren’t going to reward him for doing it.”

Now we know Mike Brown's stance on the matter is official after this statement. Carson Palmer seems adamant on his stance as well from his quote this offseason about already having "enough millions of dollars to live the rest of his life without playing another snap in the NFL."

Mike Brown is gonna be a son of a b***h (too), will hold onto his contract rights (won't relinquish them) encase he pulls a 'switcheroo' before the trade deadline this season.

Mike Brown is a... f**k, I got nothing bad enough to call him. Somebody help me out?

Brown is a jackass. If you have a player that is going to retire unless you trade him, that means you either trade him and get something in return or get nothing. Either way, that player is not going to play for you anymore.

I respect Mike Brown's hard line approach. The dude is old school..........
