Bengals coach Marvin Lewis wants to move forward no matter what happens with Carson Palmer. Palmer wants Cincinnati to trade him and sources close to the quarterback claim he's willing to retire if he doesn't get his wish. "It's going to be important not to spin our wheels worrying about it and being paralyzed by it but to be proactive," Lewis said. Lewis said he last spoke with Palmer in early February and that the quarterback was positive at the time. "Guys get to points for different reasons," Lewis said. "The fans shouldn't worry about that. If he doesn't want to do this, then this is what we have to do. This is a 24/7 deal for all of us. "A lot of things affect people all the time, but the thing about it is there's a great opportunity ahead and we're going to seize the moment. One guy spoke with the owner of the football team, and he was told where his stand is. Carson knew where things are going to be."
