So did Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, as one of the players on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's player advisory committee.
On a bench outside of the meeting rooms sat Kennard McGuire, Houshmandzadeh's agent.

BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
INDIANAPOLIS - Formal contract talks with agents for Bengals free agents Madieu Williams and Landon Johnson are likely to take place tonight and Saturday.
Bengals negotiators met Thursday with agent Kennard McGuire, who represents T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The Pro Bowl wide receiver has one season remaining on a four-year contract, and the sides would like to extend his deal before it expires.
"Nothing to report," McGuire wrote in an e-mail.

Draft's D-line offers depth
Pick may tip Bengals' defensive plan
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
INDIANAPOLIS - Depending on whom they select with the ninth pick in the draft, the Bengals could tip their hand about their defensive plans for the next few seasons.
Upgrading the defensive line is the top priority of the offseason, coach Marvin Lewis said, and if they don't re-sign defensive end Justin Smith in free agency, the Bengals almost assuredly will take a tackle or end. Lewis and Smith say Smith will give the Bengals every opportunity to re-sign him.
Lewis wants to improve the pass rush. The Bengals' 22 sacks in 2007 gave them the NFL's worst sack-per-play rate.

Free agency looms Friday
Bengals likely will take usual slow approach
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
The draft is still widely considered as the best way to build an NFL team.
Some clubs, such as Washington, Dallas and Denver, and last year, New England, pursue free agency more aggressively than others.
The free agency period will begin Friday, and, as the case has been in recent years, the Bengals are more likely to go slow at the start - concentrating their efforts on retaining their own free agents and avoiding the first few days of action when prices are largely inflated.
