Also isn't Katie the key contract and salary cap person, wouldn't they need that information for doing any trades? Yes they should have been there, end of story not on vacation when the Bengals have a long off season!
Duke Tobin came out about 4 days before the deadline and said "we are not interested in trading away ANY of our players"
I'm sure Katie was given permission from old Mike to take a holiday but should they have stuck around anyway? just in case someone was going to offer us something totally stupid for one of our players who has been under performing all season.
And if some team came in and offered the earth for someone, I'm sure Mike, Duke and Paul along with the rest of the admin staff would have been able to struggle through the negotiations.
It's like here during the Football (Soccer) transfer window, We go into the last day of the window and Chairman and managers of teams will say at 11am that they will be doing no business even although the window doesn't shut till midnight, do you think that they along with the whole staff will then sit in their office until midnight, Just in case someone has a rush of blood and offers stupid money for a player? No the office is all locked up with the lights out by 5pm, although there phone will be on with the fax plugged in.
It was a family holiday, i'm sure there were plenty of other staff that could have dealt with any enquiries
