A flurry of activity as economic movement tore through the league like the Mississippi River through the heartland of the U.S. Teams on both sides of that river shelled out cash for players of all positions, except those punters and kickers...and probably a few others.
The Steelers, of course, did not lead the way in this charge. After signing Mike Mitchell to a 5-year, $25 million deal Tuesday, they inked C/G Cody Wallace to a three year contract, and locked up Greg Warren to compete for a long-snapping job in 2014.

All of these stories are on BTSC somewhere, in what we think has become the most posts on the site in one calendar day. Please pat yourselves on the back, as I cannot do it with my hands plunged in a vat of ice.
