	Just a couple of weeks before training camp, and I'm getting a little nervous. We still have to sign 9 of our 12 draft choices. Carl needs to kick it in the butt. It does no good to have high draft choices if you don't sign them. If we don't get our top picks signed by camp, they won't do us much good this year, and only put the team a year behind. The only thing that gives me some comfort, is that some other teams have yet to sign their first round picks, but time is running out.

	Agree. This is getting scary. Glenn Dorsey, Branden Albert, and Brandon Flowers being holdouts would be very scary (That is an understatement.) by itself. Add 6 more rookies on top of that, than you can add a very for every one of those players.

	No worries. We are building for the future. What choice do they have? It's not like they are going to sit out a year for a better deal. No worries!

	I disagree Bastyd, this is a big deal. Obviously the players will not sit out a year for a better deal but, they will hold out of training camp until Carl finally pays them and show up days or even a week to weeks late to training camp. Rookies have got to be there in camp from day one if they are expected to start or be major contributors this season.

	I agree with the sentiment here, but I'm not quite at the point where I'm nervous yet. A quick look at the history of our signings, indicates that it's still early. I know for people like us, two weeks doesn't seem very long, but for agents and GMs it's an eternity. Plenty of time yet folks. Patience for now. Not quite time to build the gallows for Carl yet.
