A Family Affair - Bengals sign Carson Palmer's brother, Jordan, to two-year deal

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals signed quarterback Jordan Palmer - younger brother of starting signal-caller Carson - to a two- year deal Wednesday.





The younger Palmer was selected by the Redskins in the sixth round of last April's draft out of UTEP, but has been with the Arena League's Arizona Rattlers since November.

The 6-foot-5, 232-pound Jordan passed for more than 11,000 yards in 42 career games in college, setting single-season school records a senior with the Miners by throwing for 3,595 yards and completing 282 passes.

Aside from the Palmer brothers, the Bengals have second-stringer Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jeff Rowe, a fifth-round draft pick from last season, in the mix at the quarterback position.
