Carson Palmer and Marvin Lewis spent a good deal of time together as the franchise quarterback and head coach, respectively, of the Cincinnati Bengals through the majority of the 2000s. Palmer was a very solid quarterback around whom the front office struggled to put talent, but they did have some success, reaching the postseason in 2005 and…well, we know how that ended.
Palmer eventually grew tired of the losing culture and atmosphere in Cincinnati and essentially forced a trade when he indicated that he was going to retire, and he ended up spending as much time with the Oakland Raiders and Arizona Cardinals as he did with the Bengals.
