Great news! Looks like it's going to be a holdout free season for the Bengals.

Looks like a combination of DJ Qualls and a skinny Nicholas Cage on meth.

I would expect Finley and Pratt to sign their contracts within a couple of days

Love this aspect of the cba. Very few rookie holdouts league wide and those few are based mostly on offset language and not dollar amount

The rookie wage scale was long overdue and only made sense since guys drafted in the upper half of the first round were being paid way more than most vets without playing a snap.

I'm just pumped to get these guys in here and excited to let the coaches start to work with them and polish their game!

I'm excited for this season!

Come to think of it, I guess it has been a while.  Andre Smith is the most recent that I can think of.

Ahhhh.. Andre Smith... who could have forgotten him.  (didn't he break his foot that year in camp)  yep 2 days after ending that holdout..

There are no holdouts anymore. The one's that don't sign right away are trying to get certain language in the contract, but the numbers are already set. For instance, Mariotta argued about being allowed to surf. No one is going to miss their first training camp over surfing....

Joey Bosa missed his because his umbilical cord is still attached or something. It's didn't seem to matter. He hit the ground running.

The new rookie contract structure really takes the drama out of signing your first round pick XD.
