Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is convinced quarterback Carson Palmer is serious about his plans to retire if the team doesn't trade him. "There's this one thing you have to understand about Carson. When a guy that grows a random beard says he's going to do something, he means it," Ochocinco said. "Seriously. Seriously, That's totally out of his character. When someone like that grows a random beard and says he's going to retire -- if he doesn't mean traded -- he means business. And it's unfortunate, but it is what it is."
