Mike, Bubba Franks is no longer under his inagrual draft contract. I released him last year and he was on the free market.
What happened to the posts after the 23rd?

Something coirrupted the SQL database and we lost a weeks worth of posts... some damn important ones too... not sure
happened, but in rebuilding the database I got a couple errors.
Anyone good with sql db's?
OK, so Bubba adds to my cause IMO. The market set a standard now for 4 of the top 5 paid TE's, and one of them (Gonzo) is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. It should also be noted that I believe Gonzo was a RFA, and one thing I've noticed is that tagging players with RFA status often results in higher contracts than UFA's since teams have more money to spend in the RFA period.
In general, the league has only bid up 4 TE's over 400, and the vast majority have sold for under 200. I think I can quell Brian's arguement that each was in a uniques situation with the fact that each year TE's are often in unique situations, and there is so much movement after the top 2 or 3 that it's often too large a gamble to invest heavily there, thus teams often low-bduget the position, which is what we saw last year.
