It's the Bengals - everyone down to the water boy wants out of town! I'm a fan, and even I want to get traded!

Know your pain. But if Mr. Brown caves to the whining of his franchise QB, there will be a steady march to his office demanding a trade. He didn't do it for Chad Johnson he shouldn't to it for Carson Palmer. If Carson didn't like it so much why did he sign a long term contract? He knew what he was in for. Mike Brown hasn't changed in almost 20 years why would the last 4 years be any different? Mike Brown has a plan- To make as much money as he can. This means you put out an average team every year and hope to be around .500. This keeps the fans coming to your games and earns you more money.
I don't blame Mike Brown he's a businessman and you know what he's doing.

I blame the fans for supporting him though season tickets,buying tickets period (even off a secondary reseller the original money for the ticket went to Mr. Brown), and buying Bengals stuff. The fans need to stop buying tickets, buying merchandise, buying anything Bengal related, only then will things change. But this will not happen to many content sheep
