Cincinnati Enquirer: What others are saying about Bengals' draft

Winners

Carson Palmer: He came out ahead … probably … definitely maybe. The Bengals drafted TCU QB Andy Dalton with the third pick of the second round, so a successor is in place for Palmer, who has vowed to never again suit up for the organization. Owning the rights of Dalton — who seems to have the accuracy and moxie to play very quickly in new OC Jay Gruden's system — should allow team owner Mike Brown to shop Palmer.

Are the Bengals bluffing by saying Hasta LaVista to Carson Palmer? I can't believe they are going to let him retire. They can trade him and get draft choices. Or they want him back as their starting QB next year.
