I see two things in this:

1: If they Bengals have no desire to have a new QB, they will call Carson's bluff. They will play the same game they did with Chad a few years ago. Carson may or may not be serious about the retiring bit.

2: Carson may well be using this as leverage to force some moves. I doubt very seriously that Carson wants to have both Chat and TO go. I think he wants to at least have one of the two. I also see this as his opportunity to help force Bratkowski out. This could be Carson taking charge because Marvin is too soft and does not have the guts to let the OC go. Carson could be giving Marvin an out.
