The Bengals drafted a quarterback with the 35th overall pick in last month's NFL Draft, but owner Mike Brown still wants Carson Palmer to remain with the team. Palmer has requested that Cincinnati trade him and sources close to the veteran claim he's prepared to retire from the NFL if he isn't dealt. "We don't plan to trade Carson," Brown said. "He's important to us. He's a very fine player, and we do want him to come back. If he chooses not to, he'd retire. And we would go with Andy Dalton, the younger player we drafted, who's a good prospect. "Ideally, we'd have both of them. That'd be the best way to go forward. If we don't have Carson, we'll go with Andy."
