Carson Palmer can force a trade by showing up to work next week. By heading into the office, Palmer forces the Bengals to account for his guaranteed salary of $11.5 million in 2011. Under the new CBA, the move will force Mike Brown to make a choice; pay Palmer and cut some players to clear the cap space or cut Palmer and move on.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk spoke about the possibility on the Brock and Salk show (710 ESPN) yesterday where he stated: "I think he specifically hasn't retired because he wants to retain the ability to show up out of the blue next week... and if he shows up out of the blue next week -- Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday; the Bengals have to decide pretty quickly to keep him and pay him what will become as of Week 1, a guaranteed salary of $11.5 million."
Get on your twitter account and tell Palmer to show up next week. If we get him in a Hawks uniform, we instantly become serious contenders in the short and long term.
