The verbal salvos from Carson Palmer about Chad Ochocinco's absence from the Bengals this offseason have intensified. On Sirius NFL Radio on Tuesday, Palmer issued his strongest criticism yet about the absence of the ninth-year wide receiver. "It's definitely a new look for the Bengals receiver corps but I couldn't be happier with the guys we've got," Palmer said. "T.J.'s (Houshmandzadeh) gone and Chad's pretty much gone, he hasn't been here, so we've got guys that want those two spots, guys that compete day in and day out, when we're out there on the field, running, conditioning and in the weight room lifting. They're guys that want to take over for those two spots. They look every bit capable of doing what we're going to ask them to do."

I would have cut ochostinko and signed TJ with an exstension. Chad is just one of those players that plays just for himself. GROW UP. I wish you'd play in traffic.

Both statements are very true.

Another slow news day....

Doesn't matter. the Bengals have sucked, and will suck this year. They will battle Cleveland for the highest draft pick.

About time someone in the Bengals organization has spoken up about this fool!!!

He does play for the Bungles, the clubhouse leader in criminals. Maybe he is getting ready for his trip?

Just another prima donna that proves to be more of a distraction than a contributor.

Bengals D will be outstanding this year... but offense will be so bad it won't matter... polar opposite of a few years ago.

I am really surprised he is not there considering hard knocks is covering the team this year. I thought he was a **** for attention and would want to be in front of them all he could. Maybe he is just trying to be fashionably late and make a grand entrance.

I think with a face like that, Ocho should be the Poster Boy for all that is well with the NFL.

May 21, 2009  08:13 AM ET

The definition of a locker room cancer....just unfortunatly with talent

May 21, 2009  08:22 AM ET

The question is why does Chad hate the bengals???

May 21, 2009  08:24 AM ET

Can't blame Palmer for ripping Ocho he deserves it.

May 21, 2009  08:36 AM ET

This guy is on the way down. What a joke!! They should have traded him to Washington last year. Old, overrated, sad...

Carson Palmer is not out of line at all, I agree with him. Bengals should have traded him when they could get some value out of him but now they're stuck because nobody is willing to overpay for an aging WR.

Good job Bungles management.
