The last time Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer made headlines he has bashing his #1 target Chad Ocho Cinco. Now he has nothing but nice things to say about him.

“He’s a damn good receiver — that’s obvious, everybody knows that — but the guys that are working here and busting their butt here deserve a shot,” Palmer told Fox Sports Radio. “When he shows up he’ll show up and hopefully he’s in great shape and he’s ready to play. But I never once said anything about not wanting him here and not needing him. He’s a Pro Bowl receiver. He’s put up a ton of yards. He’s extremely dangerous to cover. We would love him when he comes here, but he’s not here right now.”

Palmer already know Ocho Stinko is a horrible teammate and isn’t expecting him to participate in any volunteer workouts.

“I haven’t talked to anybody that has talked to him,” Palmer said. “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.”

Stinko isn’t even a good receiver anymore, he’s always hurt and lately he has a hard time fighting off coverage. It’s time for the Bengals to get rid of him.
