Bengals Xtra is a weekly column from Enquirer Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. looking at issues off the field with the franchise.
NFL Films producer Steve Trout knew Carson Palmer. Trout directed Hard Knocks in 2009, featuring Palmer and the Bengals.
He also directed the season of All or Nothing with Arizona in 2015. There was a trust there.
Palmer retired in a low-key announcement this past year.
