Rice is a free agent and he will test the market. The only question right now is what kind of free agent he is.

You know people keep on wondering why pro teams don't usually jump at the chance to add brothers. In short it's situation like the Palmer standoff that puts teams in exactly the type of situations that make everyone uncomfortable. Very rarely do you end up with the Sedin, McCourty or Pouncey twins. Actually if anything this latest example has shown me that twins are all right. Regular brothers on the other hand, bad idea that only sounds good initially on paper.

I could see it only becoming a problem if one wanted to leave and the other decided to back up the brother and wanted to leave also. This is not the case here. Carson is still a half decent QB and probably could start on many teams. He know it and the team knows it. So does Jordan. Jordan on the other hand is limited in his decision making. If he backs his brother then he's likely fired and with out a job cause he's just not the type of QB teams are going to knock down walls to get to. Jordan also has to know he's most likely not going to start so he's better off just sitting back staying quiet and letting whatever chips there are fall where they may and practice with the WR's.

Had talked about the possibility a few weeks back, and now it looks pretty official that Robert Gallery will be available

Wow...the Panthers may actually be WORSE next season!

Replacing DeAngelo Williams' roster spot with Shockey and probably adding ANOTHER rookie QB after the 3 they drafted last season pooped the bed. Plus, no John Fox.

All the Bengals need to do is give Jordan #9 and start him. The fans will not see a decline in performance from the QB spot and most of them won't even notice Carson is gone.

Yeah, Carson has declined that much.

Bonus - the stadium shop won't have to discount the #9 Palmer jerseys and toss them on the clearance rack, keep charging full price.

And you guys wanted to make Tony Pike our franchise QB. Silly people. The smart people recommended Jimmy.
