PalmerThe latest Bengals arrest has quarterback Carson Palmer not only seething, but also speaking out on how off-field problems are a factor in the team not reaching the playoffs.
In a conversation that began Monday by discussing his brother and his own Senior Bowl experience four years ago, Palmer lit into the string of offenses that reached nine in the past 13 months with cornerback Johnathan Joseph?s arrest for marijuana possession. ?It has to stop,? Palmer said hours after he heard the news. ?If it doesn?t stop, we?re not going to have any fans left and I don?t blame them. It?s ridiculous. We can?t get through a month without getting a guy arrested. It happens on another team and they?re shocked and surprised to hear about it. With us, you hear about it and it doesn?t surprise you and you just shake your head and say, ?Another one.? ?

"You don't want to be up here," the Bengals coach would tell his players.

They don't deserve them right now.

Since he already served a two-game suspension for an earlier guilty plea, I'm assuming now he will miss at least four games next season (unless this is what he served the two game suspension for - it's hard to keep up with the status of all his transgressions).

BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected]
After watching nine of his players get arrested in the past 13 months, Bengals president Mike Brown said Friday that the team would change its approach on draft day.
"There may be some gifted athletes we won't pick that we might have picked a year ago," Brown told The Enquirer's Peter Bronson on Friday, a day that one of Brown's players, wide receiver Chris Henry, spent in jail in Kenton County.
