In this society of instant gratification its funny how people no longer have the patience to wait to find out what has happened. The only thing that could happen by letting fans know where negotiations stand is that it would screw up any negotiating leverage either party has. The Bengals policy of not announcing anything until a deal is signed is a sound one.

Especially since it isn't a deal until the ink is on the paper.

Just ask Donte Whitner or Warren Sapp.

As to actually getting signed, relax people!  If the player has the intention of signing an agreement, they will do so.

There are plenty of times we came to an agreement with a player but there was some time before the actual signing.  Sam Adams stands out in my mind there...
