Early take on FA

[bowbiejuke]

Peyton Manning went to low, I hope your happy with Willie Parker never playing, Frank Gore and Eddie Royal were right where I thought they would go, had I not had problems early logging on I would have been more of a player for Kurt Warner, very good value, since I think Manning should have gone for more money.

Peyton did come a bit cheaper than I had thought. After last years devastation with Carson Palmer, I decided to grab Brady; Peyton; or Warner...in that order. I was bidding up until 6 Mil for Brady, then realized the market for QB's seems dry. Alot of teams are set at QB, so I snuck in a bid for Peyton about 20 minutes behind Brady...figuring most would rank Brady ahead of Peyton and bid him up first. Just not enough teams needing a QB is what made the QB's come so cheap, I think all were cheap really...Brady included.

Willie Parker may or may not be the RB1 in Pitt this year, but I'd say he is happy since he also owns Mendenhall. It was probably a priority to him to lockup the PITT RB situation, and a good priority imo. He's paying 11 Mil for what has consistently been a strong run-first team.

Royal went cheap than I thought he would, I was going to bid on him but decided TO may come cheaper. I didn't want to get into a bidding war with Brandon for Royal, because I could easily see him getting up to 6 Mil with me...and although I like Royal, I'd prefer to get the same value in TO for much cheaper, at least for this year imo.

Thanks for not going after Royal, I thought for sure those Sabretooths bastards were going to bid on him right before the deadline like he did with Fitzgerald in our initial auction. That one still pisses me off.

Early indications that my team will suck once again.

Did Maroney get traded from the Pats?

4+ mill for him in the same ol situation seems a little high to me.
