Carson Palmer was a busy man this summer. The Cardinals’ quarterback continued to rehabilitate from ACL surgery, he lined up workouts with teammates near his home in California, and in his down time, he even became a salesman.
After veteran tight end John Carlson retired this offseason, the Cardinals were in need of experience within the position group. In late July, there weren’t many better options on the free agent market besides Jermaine Gresham, a two-time Pro Bowler coming off back surgery.
Palmer and Gresham played together with the Bengals in 2010 and had kept in touch over the years.
