saphead Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 That was a very interesting interview with Rome a little bit ago. Some pretty good stories about growing up in a small town, he sounds like an excellent young man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 That was a great, awesome interview. What a tremendous awesome guy. One of the best interviews with the best guy. I've always been a fan. What awesome questions and great answers in that amazing interview. Incredible, incredible guy. I am a golden god. -Rome, probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has attended voluntary camps and has not said a single bad word about the situation. I'm sure whatever it is will be fixed in time for training camp. If he doesn't show up then, he would be holding out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 He’s definitely not holding out. He has indeed been at everything and had a great interview on Lap’s pod too. There’s a wrench for 75% of 4th round picks who have not yet signed. Blame the Texans (click through) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 That's a bit silly on Volson's agent's part though. Pierce was selected 25 picks ahead of Volson. The Bengals only have a certain amount left in their rookie pool so they can't pay more than that and presumably have offered it as they can't use it for anything else.

stryker57 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 but also the bengals are know for sticking to principle even if it costs them more to do so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Jackson Carman who? Think about how he came to camp last year compared to Volson. Carman: "I'm local and the world owes me a living". Volson: "'Scuse me while I pick up a derailed locomotive and have a Gold Star four way with broken glass". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Dudes - only 25% of fourth round picks have signed. He will sign. He is there and doing everything. He’s not missing anything. It’s a holdup for a bunch of picks in that range due to the Texans fucking with the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 The Texans contract for Pierce might explain the next guy or two wanting more. It shouldn't have anything to do with Volson though. He was picked late in the round. The Bengals have already signed their other draft picks and the undrafted rookie free agents they wanted. So he can't get more than 100% of the remaining rookie pool and I'm sure the team has offered it to him. If Volson's agent is demanding a guaranteed contract or something like that, he's way out of line and hurting his client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Volson is likely holding out for less money as he wants to be paid in railroad nails and tins of Skoal. But I'm not worried. Carman will be carrying his pads at practice by week 4, if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not worried. Carman will be carrying his pads at practice by week 4, if not sooner. The Cincinnati staff believes that Carman is a far better fit on the left side than the right. It is the main reason that Spain wasn't resigned. Volson will be competing at a new position, and obviously his level of competition wasn't great. I also believe Volson is more of a road grader than a pass protector at this young stage of his career. I think he will take some time to develop into a starter type, maybe by his second year.
