James Thrash signs right away, which is good. Neil and Shello are the subject of furious bidding, as expected.
Rich Griffith and Kevin Mawae sign in Week Two, leaving just Howard Griffith, Neil, and Shello.
Griffith signs with Denver in Week Six, and McTyer gets nearly $12 mil over 3 years from Pittsburgh. I would have loved to keep him, but we had a glut at corner.
I up my offer to Neil to $1.98 mil/3 years, just because I'd really like to keep him around. Great injury backup. I also up my offer to Shello to $26.64 mil/4 years. Hopefully the extra $900,000 he's being offered by Cincinnati won't sway him.
As it turns out, Neil liked Philly's (cheaper) offer better. They must be offering him a starting job. Shello, on the other hand, decided that less is more, and chose to stay in Cleveland. That does it for free agency for me, so I'll skip the rest of the period and head to the draft.
