AGrizzlyBaer Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 most rookies go to the mini camp regardless, its training camp thats the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whur CHad At? Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 not all rookies do mini-camps...See Shawne Merriman on that oneBut I hope their aren't hold outs this year, I really don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 OK, point taken, but I still would rather not see the holdouts we've seen for so many years now !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 We signed Carson before the draft even took place. The place where it gets muddied is when the guys around the Bengals pick haven't signed yet. Yes... the Bengals front office has a knack for negotiating tactics that result in hold-outs... but many of the agents that hold their players out against the Bengals are notorious for the same thing.The Pollack deal cut both ways. Let's hope whoever we draft has a reasonable agent, and that our front-office learned from last year, and gets the guy signed before camp starts... but like I said, it all too often has just as much to do with when the players around our pick signs.

ArmyBengal Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I see your point, but the question is also how bad to you want your 1st round pick in camp ??? "IF" the Bengals didn't get Pollack into camp because of people around him, then it's complete and udder BULLSH*T !!! Is there any doubt that if Marvin had Pollack in camp earlier he would have had a better season with a bigger impact ?? I know what you are saying about agents as well, but I think the front office has to get this done sooner. If our 1st is a defensive one again, then they need to get it done and get it done QUICK !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm optimistic a long holdout can be avoided this year due to the Bengals later draft position and the new CBA making more traditional Bengal-friendly deals possible. That said, a holdout of 2 or 3 days is not only possible, but highly desirable....as Joisey and I do love our fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 2 or 3 days ?? No issue... 2-3 months is quite another story and I'm just sick of not getting the guys, who are looked at as being able to make an impact, into camp ASAP !!! We can't keep drafting guys in the 1st round and then have them not make an impact until the following year because of holdouts... We need IMPACT NOW !!! Especially with the schedule we are looking at this year !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
