Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that Palmer wants out, and that he’ll possibly retire if he’s not traded. According to PFT's Mike Florio, since all of Palmer’s signing bonus money has been counted toward years he has played under his current deal, which runs through 2014, Palmer could retire without having to forfeit to the Bengals any money that he previously has received. But he’d also be giving up nearly $50 million in future salaries, assuming that the Bengals keep him for each of the next four years. ... Stay tuned. We obviously haven't heard the last of this one.
