Dom I agree with you if this was in a regular business environment, however this is professional sports. Guys only have so many years to play in the NFL. Palmer has made his money, he wants to win. He knows the bengals are going nowhere. He wants the chance to leave his mark on the NFL and play in a super bowl...I don't blame him. If you were in a bad marriage and your spouse had no intentions on doing her part to improve the marriage would you stay in the marriage? Same thing. The Bengals are a "dead-beat" spouse.
