The Facts:
HC Marvin Lewis, as a member of the NFL Competition Committee, had a meeting upstairs at the Westin Hotel. So did Houshmandzadeh, as one of the players on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s advisory committee. On a bench outside of the meeting rooms sat Kennard McGuire, Houshmandzadeh’s agent. After Lewis and Houshmandzadeh broke from their respective meetings Wednesday afternoon -- the eve of the annual NFL scouting combine -- the three men spoke.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Houshmandzadeh, a first-time Pro Bowl player in 2007, is entering the last season of a four-year contract that pays a base salary of $2.525 million. Houshmandzadeh is looking for a extension. According to Enquirer staffer Mark Curnutte, one of McGuire’s selling points is Houshmandzadeh’s leadership in the locker room. The agent and Bengals management are expected to meet formally Thursday to continue talks.
