Lance Briggs Resigns With Bears

This surprises me. I never figured that Briggs was possibly coming back. He deal is for 36 million over 6 years. It really shocks me that no other team offered him a contract he wanted. Nonetheless, it's excellent news for the Bears organization. 

The Saints also cut MLB Brian Simmons. He's an older players who will probably retire. He signed with the Saints after being released by Cincinnati last year, but never really managed to get any playing time because of Mark Simoneau. 

Broncos signed WR Keary Colbert. I think this is a pretty ridiculous move since the guy has no upside whatsoever. He's not fast, he's not big, and he doesn't have good hands. This mystifies me. 

The Bills have released DT Larry Tripplett. He's a solid run stuffer, but that's about it. He should pick up a job with a team somewhere as either a #2 DT in a 4-3 or a 3rd DT in a three tackle rotation. To bolster their depth at the position, the Bills signed DT Spencer Johnson. At 26, and with 3 sacks last season, I think he has some great potential. 

Perenially looking to address that #2 CB spot after the failure of Philip Buchanon, the Texans have turned to veteran CB Jacques Reeves. I thought he really lacked any upside at all when I saw him play against the Giants this playoff, but I guess they know what they're doing. 

Dolphins signed backup LB Charlie Anderson.
