Outshined Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Do you have any status of the contract talks of Pollack and Barron. I heard a rumor that the Vikes have given James a final offer a few days ago and they have since quit talking. I wonder if James and his agent are waiting for Pollock or Baron to sign. Whatever James' demands are, the Vikes are not budging . • 15. Derrick Johnson, LB, Kansas City, 5 years, $10.5 million ($7.8 million)• 16. Travis Johnson, DT, Houston, 5 years, $10.2 million ($7.5 million)• 17. David Pollack, DE/LB, Cincinnati, unsigned• 18. Erasmus James, DE, Vikings, unsigned• 19. Alex Barron, OT, St. Louis, unsigned• 20. Marcus Spears, DE, Dallas, 5 years, $9.3 million ($6.7 million)• 21. Matt Jones, WR, Jacksonville, 5 years, $8.45 million ($6.3 million) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatGreg Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Pollack's agent was in Cincy yesterday. Talk was that a contract signing was imminent. Couple this with a sighting of Pollack at the Reds game last night and you can see why the optimism. No such luck. Pollack is looking for more guaranteed money than the Bengals are wiilling to give. The kid genuinely wants to get into camp, but he's sticking by his agent. This will get resolved, hopefully by the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk was the contract signing was imminent and now all of the sudden neither sides are talking and the Vikes won't budge. They won't say what James is asking for. Maybe it is the same thing Pollack is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guarnateed money is still the roadblock, but the report stated that the two sides are only about $200K apart. Things look better here in Bangal land this morning.
