For the record, it is socially acceptable to wish someone a "Happy Free Agency Period." I have. It works.
2 AFC North teams make very smart moves to keep their own before midnight.
I really like the Steelers re-upping with Najeh Davenport. I know the Steelers were very happy with what the big back did in limited work this year. And now he will have a full offseason to be with the club.
Pittsburgh doesn't need a big back like Jamal Lewis. The Steelers don't need a complementary back. The needed a second string. Willie Parker is the carry the mail running back. He really impressed the Steelers with his durability and his running between the tackles. Davenport is the perfect back-up and he'll get some goal-line carries and short yardage opportunities.
And good move by the Browns keeping Hank Fraley and the center position. He did a nice job last year, is a team leader, and you didn't want to risk losing him via free agency and starting over. I'll be stunned if LeCharles Bentley plays this year.
