Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback Carson Palmer is 35 years old. He will turn 36 at the end of the coming season. Many consider him old and near the end of his career. But don't call Palmer old. He doesn't plan on retiring yet.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, he said he doesn't like to use the word 'old.'
"You can use it when you talk about coaches," he said. "I'm in my mid-to-early thirties, and in quarterback years, that's middle of the road in my book."
We see quality quarterbacks play well into their late 30s and early 40s.
