The Bengals waived quarterback Jordan Palmer on Saturday. Palmer was Cincinnati's No. 2 quarterback behind older brother Carson Palmer, who asked for a trade after the season. The Bengals had signed Jordan Palmer to another contract before the start of training camp. "Based on coming off the offseason and coming into camp, yeah, I'm surprised," Palmer said. "As I started to see this unfolding in terms of the opportunity I was given, I'm not as surprised now." Rookie Andy Dalton is expected to start for Cincinnati, who also signed veteran Bruce Gradkowski.
