Date:

Jaguars waived or released QB Jordan Palmer, TE Colin Cloherty, RB Richard Murphy, CB Trumaine McBride, DE Odrick Ray, OT Will Robinson, OT Lee Barbiasz, DB Rod Issac and LB J.K. Schaffer.

Palmer's release leaves the Jags with only Chad Henne behind second-year starter Blaine Gabbert. Carson's brother, Palmer has attempted just 15 career passes since entering the league as a sixth-round pick in 2007.

Jaguars signed QB Jordan Palmer, formerly of the Bengals.

Palmer — Carson's brother — was invited to the Jaguars' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, but showed enough to earn a contract. A 2007 sixth-round pick, Palmer has attempted only 15 career passes, 12 of which came in 2008. He'll compete for the Jaguars' third-string job.

The Jaguars invited free agent QB Jordan Palmer to their upcoming minicamp on a tryout basis.

A Florida Times-Union story claims Palmer was signed, but he's only trying out. Also at the minicamp on a tryout basis is former West Virginia QB Jarrett Brown.

Bengals waived QB Jordan Palmer.

The writing was on the wall after Carson's little brother failed to appear in Cincinnati's past two preseason games. A sixth-round pick of the Redskins in 2007, Palmer has attempted just 15 career passes, two of which were intercepted and zero of which have gone for scores. Dan LeFevour will serve as the Bengals' third-string quarterback behind Andy Dalton and Bruce Gradkowski.

Bengals QB Jordan Palmer hasn't played in either of the team's last two preseason games.

Carson's little brother has been idle since completing just 1-of-4 passes for seven yards and an interception against Lions backups in the exhibition opener. He won't beat out Dan LeFevour for Cincinnati's third-string QB job.

According to WCPO-TV's Dennis Janson, Carson Palmer has told a friend that he thinks the Bengals are toying with his brother, Jordan.

Carson believes the Bengals are giving Jordan hardly any reps now and will cut him when it's too late to latch on elsewhere. What Carson really needs to realize is that his brother isn't anywhere near a starting-caliber NFL quarterback. He's No. 3 on the Bengals' depth chart and this is how third-string quarterbacks are often treated.

Free agent LB Dhani Jones suggested the Bengals will have to find a stopgap veteran QB this summer because Jordan Palmer isn't a realistic option to start in Week 1.

"Jordan Palmer's not the answer -- absolutely not," Jones said. Asked how he would feel if Carson's little brother does end up starting the season, the 2010 defensive captain replied, "I would question the decision, absolutely." Nothing can be ruled out with this organization, but we'd still be surprised to see Jordan under center to start the season.

Bengals.com speculates that the team will go to training camp with just three quarterbacks -- Jordan Palmer, Dan LeFevour, and rookie Andy Dalton.

Palmer is a tendered restricted free agent, while LeFevour is under contract and Dalton will get signed once the lockout ends. Beat writer Joe Reedy was recently asked on Twitter to give percentages on each of the above starting Week 1. He speculated Dalton as having a 55 percent chance, with 22 percent for Palmer, 0 for LeFevour, 20 for a free agent, and 3 for Carson Palmer.

Restricted free agent QB Jordan Palmer plans to spend the spring throwing to Bengals receivers in individual workouts.

It's worth keeping in mind that Carson's far less gifted younger brother is next on the depth chart. Jordan will presumably receive an RFA tender because he and Dan LeFevour are the team's only other quarterbacks "under control" for 2011. The Bengals will be forced to address the QB position early in the draft with Carson threatening retirement and no free agency on the horizon.

Offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski is giving Jordan Palmer a legitimate chance to oust J.T. O'Sullivan as the Bengals' No. 2 quarterback.

O'Sullivan was awful in the Hall of Fame game, completing 4-of-11 passes for 33 yards and a pick. Palmer, with Matt Jones as his No. 1 receiver, went 10-of-20 for 102 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. Pick your poison: The Bengals aren't going to win if either of the above has to start games.

Bengals re-signed exclusive rights free agent QB Jordan Palmer, S Kyries Hebert, OT Dennis Roland, and OG Nate Livings to one-year contracts.

Livings, 28, is the lone first-team player here. He's made 15 starts over the past two seasons, performing admirably. Roland is a tight end in the Bengals' jumbo package and a solid backup right tackle. He'll be supplanted by Andre Smith this year. Hebert is a gunner. Palmer is Carson's little brother.

Jordan Palmer is reportedly making a run at J.T. O'Sullivan's backup QB job in Bengals' camp.

This says more about O'Sullivan's disappointing performance than Palmer's progress. The Bengals have one of the worst backup situations in the league for the second straight year. If Carson Palmer goes down again, the offense is in serious trouble.

Bengals signed QB Jordan Palmer to a two-year contract.

Carson's brother was drafted in the sixth round by Washington last year, but couldn't get by Mark Brunell and Todd Collins for a roster spot. He has the physical tools to be an effective backup, but threw a ton of interceptions at UTEP. Palmer is unlikely to beat out Ryan Fitzgerald or Jeff Rowe in Cincy.

Free agent QB Jordan Palmer was among the players trying out for the Giants on Tuesday.

Palmer was cut in favor of Todd Collins/Mark Brunell in Washington during training camp. The Redskins went with luminaries Alex Buzbee and Byron Westbrook over Palmer for spots on the practice squad. Also at the workout: RB Kay-Jay Harris, RB Josh Scobey, RB Eric Shelton, and FB Patrick Pass, who was signed.
