Carson Palmer Blasts Chad Ochocinco

Carson Palmer, the started quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, is sounding less and less like a fan of Chad Ochocinco. While appearing on a radio show recently, Palmer blasted the wide receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson. According to Palmer, he isn’t exactly missing Mr. Ocho Cinco.

Here is the transcript of Palmer when he appeared on “Movin’ The Chains”, a show on Sirius NFL Radio:

When asked about his wide receivers during the recent Bengals voluntary workouts:

“It’s definitely a new look for the Bengals receiver corps but I couldn’t be happier with the guys we’ve got. T.J. gone and Chad’s pretty much gone – he hasn’t been here. So we’ve got guys that want those two spots, guys that compete day in and day out – when we’re out there on the field, running, conditioning and in the weight room lifting. They’re guys that want to take over for those two spots. They look every bit capable of doing what we’re going to ask them to do.”

When asked about Chad Ochocinco specifically:

“I haven’t talked to him. I haven’t talked to anybody that has talked to him. He wasn’t here last year so I’m expecting him not to be here at all this year. Last year I think he was here for the mandatory camp but didn’t participate in it, so I’m planning on him not being here just because he hasn’t been here yet.”

Chad Ochocinco has shown that he’s capable of changing his name. Will he be capable of changing Carson Palmer’s seemingly negative opinion of him?

Stay tuned.
