The Facts: Following up on an ongoing story. ... Tuesday night, Benson told Sirius Radio that bringing back Carson Palmer "wouldn't be healthy."
Diehards Line:In case you've somehow missed it, Palmer has threatened to retire before playing for the Bengals again. "To bring him back would be detrimental to the team. If he's there and not happy, he's not going to give us his best," Benson said according to a tweet from the program "Late Hits. ..." Worth noting: While team officials have made it clear re-signing Benson is a priority once the lockout is lifted, the veteran RB's return to Cincinnati hinges on a new deal. We suspect that once back in the fold, Benson will be more than happy to play with whatever QB is under center -- even if it's Palmer.
