If he's not happy he's not happy. This organization is obviously treating him like crap if he's walking away from the money. I'd rather be happy and make the kind of money I make now then be unhappy with eleven million dollars.

If I paid an employee 11 million dollars I'd expect him to be happy.

He may have money invested and not need the 11 mil.
From what I understand , Palmer wants to play for a contender, and he's not getting any younger. Most of these high profile athletes want a ring, and also be known as a "great" QB, RB, whatever. I don't know that I'd want to play for someone like Mike Brown either, and never get anywhere.
There's always two sides to every coin.

From what I've read, he has done something no pro athlete does...SAVE HIS MONEY. So he says he has plenty to live comfortably and support his family, really what we all strive for. He retired. It's his decision, plenty have retired at around his age. I don't find it insulting, I find it refreshing to see a pro athlete who can actually feed his family for the wages they make and not just blow it on 18 mansions and 32 expensive cars and useless stuff like that. Good for Carson.
Palmer's primary-problem was the same as Chad Ochostinko's....they were Also-Rans in the AFC North; PITTSBURGH OWNED!!!

Understood, but a contract in the NFL is not the same as a contact to regular folks. In the NFL, your employer can terminate a contract at any time for any reason.
I believe it can be dome by drugs or other crimes detrimental to the team....not just for any reason

For any reason at all. Only thing the player has is the "guaranteed" money due him. The only concern the team has is the cap hit.
