Puffins Notebook: Playoff bound

The Puffins made no claims or pickups this week. The team did add WR Kevin Curtis over the weekend. He was dropped by the Benchpressers to make room for RB Travis Henry. GM Derek Harlan was quick to add him to the roster, dropping TE Jermaine Wiggins in the process. "We have liked Kevin all along and didn't have to think twice about bringing him back," Harlan said. "At this point there aren't many difference-makers out there, but if Holt or Bruce get hurt, Curtis is possibly our #3 wideout."

That's bad news for Horned Puffin fans hoping to see Eli back in the baby blue next season. Fans will probably be disappointed even more when they learn that the organization is leaning towards keeping Tom Brady, which would rule out any chance of the team drafting Eli or the much beloved Carson Palmer.
