Peanut! I wish I need a CB just so I could bid on him. Well, there goes my sinister plan to watch JJ Watt slip through the cracks and scoop him up for $1 after everyone had spent their $$.

24 free agents with bids in under 13 hours. That is awesome.

So, if I understand the rules correctly, I can retract a bid on a player if no one else bid on him, right? Or does that not apply since I ran out of time? Not sure. And I am not asking for an exception. Just clarification.

I am going to err on the side of leniency here although I'm tempted not to. Rookie learning curve time will run out at some unspecified and probably spontaneous point in the near future. Please whenever making bids of FAs keep up with them, both within 24 hours to see if you won, and within 24 hours after that to sign them. Bids can only be retracted before a bid has been won. Once 24 hours have passed on the last bid, that player is yours.

Tom Brady was definitely the top prize in FA and went for less than I thought he would, so Monkeys did very well there. Looks like the era of the $7 contract is over. And Chancellor for $1 is a sweet deal.
Gryphons worked FA very well to fill roster holes. Redman for $1 is a gamble at the right price. I was stunned that George Wilson was not close to the first S with a bid so nice steal there. Suggs at $3 is risky because right now they're all talking like they did not learn anything from how the Colts screwed themselves by not putting Peyton Manning on IR. But if you can stash him on IR for a year then it's a genius move.
Sorry Mummies but I did want to make sure no one could buy BJGE or McGahee for $1. I would have been happy to have them but have become allergic to paying RBs more than that. I like Abraham at $1, and the willingness to use productive veterans when most dynasty owners are chasing young upside.
I can't believe y'all let me have Chad Greenway for $1. I should have bid on JJ Watt first. But with 6 players at $7, I'm not whining.
Maybe I will continue talking to myself here and rate the other teams later.

I like Brady at $6 but would have signed hime to a 3 year deal.
I like Osi and Watt at $2, I should have intitialy bid $2 on Osi but the news of his new dealbroke right after i made my bid.
I would have bid on tilman but have my 3 cb. Greenway I would have bid on as well but I drafted a bunch of LB.
Tulsa, as far as McGahee and Green-Ellis at $ and $3 it is worth it for me at 1 year deals as far as my roster goes, which is why i did that. My RB situation is screwed before them!
