Kirkendall Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Thus, the contract he agreed to next season would have no where near the $7.7 million in guaranteed money.Where did you see that the Bengals offered him $7.7 million in guaranteed money? We're going to find out the exact difference between Pollack's demands and the Bengals offer within the next 24-hours...PS, all of those blaming the Bengals could be right.... Developing. <stalks off the board to find kirk and slap him silly until he talks> I have sources now... step aside Geoff, there's a new sheriff in town. (just kiddin', 'butch') So give already. You got the skinny, spill it! Here you go. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...090370/1066/SPTThe difference between having Pollack in camp or at his offseason home in Georgia is $300,000 to $400,000, sources tell The Enquirer. Pollack's agents, Ken Kremer and Tom Condon, want it guaranteed. The Bengals don't. Otherwise, for the most part, the two sides have agreed on a five-year contract worth more than $9.5 million. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Here you go. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...090370/1066/SPTThe difference between having Pollack in camp or at his offseason home in Georgia is $300,000 to $400,000, sources tell The Enquirer.

Ahhhh...kissing up to Curnutte, eh? That jibes with what Hobson hints at in his write-up on the James deal, namely that the Bengals wanted to guarantee a little less than $7 million while Pollack's side wanted a bit more than $7 million guaranteed.Reports of the James deal's guarantees and totals would indicate that the Bengals ought to have given in...they would have gotten off cheaper. Doh! Quote
Scottishbengal Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Not to mention what he thinks of Mexicans, homosexuals and southerners. Would this include his views on homosexuals from southern Mexico? Quote
markymark69 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 I just found the site as well and hope to enjoy some Bengal chat. My feeling on the Pollack holdout is on the side of the Bengals. Although I think a guy should get as much as he can, I think the agent is only thinking about Pollack in the short term and not the long term. I have seen lengthy holdouts ruin careers, I hope that is not the case with Pollack, but the time he is missing he can never get back. The fact that he is learning a new position he needs to be in camp.I read the comments of Ricky Hundley (the ultimate holdout) and he said if he had to do it over again he would have been in camp and not had an agent. Quotes like that make a big impression on me. Hundley clearly feels his holdout was a mistake and is hoping that the same doesn't happen with Pollack.After all, with the millions he is going to make, is a few thousands bucks really worth holding out for and potentially crippling your career? If he loves football, as he says he does, then he needs to be in camp and sign the deal. If the agent doesn't get clients for the next year, too bad, so sad. Quote

R-U-D-I Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 I think God just read your post and rescinded your 200 seats - then gave you 20 back for humor... Yes, God has a great sense of humor - He made Browns fans didn't He? Quote
