Great article by Rick Reilly about the rift between Carson Palmer and Bengal's owner Mike Brown.. Interesting idea towards the end of the article:

"If I'm Palmer, I watch the signing wires like a hawk. As soon as the Bengals climb to within $11.5 million of the hard salary cap, I beeline it to Cincinnati and sign. That would force Brown to either cut five or six players to be able to pay me -- or sign my freedom papers."

On the bright side, there is some really good young talent in Cincy.. Just might take a few years to for them to figure things out.
