Carson Palmer had a terrific NFL career with prolific seasons for multiple franchises…but his best attributes were his toughness on the field and his kindness off of it. All the best, #3!

Good luck to Carson Palmer in retirement. When he dealt with me, it was important to him that he explain things so deeply that even I would understand. Just a very, very good person—and one of the best at the total craft of quarterbacking.

Will honestly miss these 2 leaders on the team! They have taught me so much on/off the field. I seriously owe so much to Carson & @BruceArians for how they have gotten me to where I am in my career/life today. I wish you all the best as you start the next stages of life! pic.twitter.com/6t5LwfvBf6
