Picked up a couple of guards on the cheap: Chad Rhinehart and Garrett Reynolds. Both are in line for starting jobs this year so I'm hoping one of them is good down the road. I'm going to need a replacement for Evan Mathis soon.

Released Jeremy Bridges.

Got the only 2 guys out there that I truly wanted to snag; Vance Walker (DT) and Donnie Avery (WR).

I know Avery's never healthy, but I lose Percy Harvin for the last 7 weeks and Avery was healthy in 2012, so I at least have a credible #2 WR who had a solid 2012 season.

I'm surprised you didn't make a move on Walker, Clay. I know he's overpriced, but he's a very good run-stuffer that's almost certain to get a pretty significant role in Oakland. He's still quite young and could develop into a pretty nice #2 DT. Your D-Tackle rotation looks a little thin and you have the money - figured you'd make a play on him for sure.

Maybe I'm just overvaluing him, but I really like what he can bring alongside McCoy, especially with Sammie Lee Hill in the rotation for passing downs.

I cut nobody because I was really intelligent and cut Greg Jones and Jeff Saturday before the FA period started. Because moron.

I have my two starters and a backup already. I'll sign another backup before FA ends.

There was no way I was paying Vance Walker that kind of money to be a backup.

I was the first one to bid on him, though, so **** ALL OF YOU for bidding him up.

Blame the Tacos. I wanted Desmond Bryant until he got obscenely expensive. Walker was my #2 target and ultimately, isn't going to get rammed into a 3-4 DE position this year so he's probably a better long-term fit for me anyway.

I like Bryant a lot, but I hate that Cleveland's going to force him into a 2-gap system. He has amazing potential as an under-tackle and 1-gap interior pass-rusher.

If anyone's looking to move a guard, I'd make Joel Dressen available as a nice #2 TE on a 2-year contract. Khalif Barnes (RT) could be had as well, also on a 2-year deal. Oh, and if anyone's looking for a NT, Sione Pouha had a solid year and is also on a 2-year contract.

So there's nothing world-altering, but if anyone has a spare guard and is looking for some pretty nice complementary parts, I'd be open to making a move for one.

Not gonna lie, I think this team is pretty damn filthy here in Clearwater.

That's a pretty damn massive turnover for a championship team and I honestly think I improved at every position on the board except for RB, where I lose MJD for most of the year and didn't do a ton to replace him. At present, 28 of the 52 players on the squad are new for 2013; greater than a 50% turnover and every one of the additions is an upgrade, IMO. I managed a complete 3-4 to 4-3 overhaul and rebuilt my O-Line in a single season. Not to shabby at all.

This has to be one of the top 3 squads in the league.

With 10 more new lime players soon still... incredible turnover...

DJ - your team looks pretty stacked...

I'm also willing to part with a 2nd round pick for a starting RB.

Any interest in Rashard Mendenhall. He'll be Arizona's starter this year.

Nah; I'll have MJD back in 2013.

I'm looking for a 2012 starter. Mendenhall isn't likely to contribute any more than Redman or Turbin will for me in 2012.

He'll offer much more locker room conversation about 9/11 than those guys.

Clearwater signs Jed Collins, cuts LeRon McClain.

Nice signing. He went cheap in both leagues and I'm not sure why. If I didn't already have a pro bowl FB I would have bid him up significantly.

I think his team kept him under the radar.

Nobody really thinks of FBs when they think of the Saints.

I'd have tried to snag him for another year, but I put my bid in on him when I had my money tied up and didn't feel like throwing him back out there for another 72 hours when I got knocked off Leonard Johnson.

Though really, with no starting caliber HB, Aaron Rodgers on the squad, 2 solid TEs and one of the deepest WR corps in the league, I can't imagine that I'll be using my FB too terribly often. He was just a nice free pickup for a rainy day.
