I was afraid we would lose Huber. There was chatter today Chicago was interested. However, if it was decent, I guess I could have accepted. Not like it would have been letting go of Whit and Zeit. But still pretty important.

Yeah, I'm glad they were able to bring him back. Year after year, he just consistently does his job very well.

After the Terrence Garvin hit, he wasnt rattled and came back and played the game without fear. Love the dedication from this guy! Friggen punter with the heart of a soldier! Gotta love it!

Honestly, I'd just be talking to Eifert at this point. I'm fine letting the rest of our FAs walk.

Same, no one special there. Happy we brought Eifert back for an incentive laden 1 year deal.

Bring in a Linebacker or WR and i will be happy with our moves.

Perhaps make a designation that Baker and Hart were cut by their previous teams and therefore don't affect comp picks? Some people might want to use this list to try to calculate comp picks.

Well remove back up QB from draft list. Bengals signing Matt Barkley to 2 year deal. The draft is set up for BPA in rounds 1 to 3 with one major need, as stud center or guard.

Bringing in Preston Brown and now hearing Bodine signed with the Bills sure was awesome.

Really happy with this FA, now we can get our Center in the Draft and we are sitting pretty.
