Mangold won't be training-camp holdout
New York Jets
July 24, 2010 8:19 am
ESPN reports All-Pro center Nick Mangold has expressed frustration over the team's unwillingness to negotiate a contract extension, but he indicated Friday night that he's not planning a training-camp holdout. "It doesn't seem to me to do any good to do it, so I'll be there with bells on," Mangold told the NFL Network. The Jets report Aug. 1 to camp in Cortland, N.Y. In last month's minicamp, Mangold hinted that he might be a no-show for training camp. He's entering the final year of a five-year contact, due to make $3.3 million. He's looking for long-term security, but the Jets have used the uncertain labor situation as the reason for not wanting to extend Mangold.

Source: Palmer, Owens working out
Cincinnati Bengals
July 24, 2010 8:02 am
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports no deal for free-agent wide receiver Terrell Owens is imminent, but his connections to Cincinnati are increasing. Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer has been working out regularly with Owens in California and has been highly impressed, according to a team source. Palmer has gone so far as to tell Bengals officials what an asset Owens could be and how much talent he still has. If nothing else, it has gotten Cincinnati thinking and talking about a receiver it hosted for a free-agent visit in March. Back then the Bengals opted for Antonio Bryant, but a team that has been short-handed at wide receiver knows it never hurts to stockpile talent at the position.
