Posted June 10, 20223 yr comment_1672608 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.
June 10, 20223 yr comment_1672616 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.

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.
June 11, 20223 yr comment_1672628 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)
June 11, 20223 yr comment_1672632 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.
June 11, 20223 yr comment_1672635 but also the bengals are know for sticking to principle even if it costs them more to do so,

June 11, 20223 yr comment_1672637 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".
June 11, 20223 yr comment_1672638 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.
June 11, 20223 yr comment_1672646 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.
June 11, 20223 yr comment_1672650 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.

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.
