I think this is exactly what you do when you are rebuilding. You have cash to spare, its not needed for 3 to 5 years when your draft picks are coming off of ELC's. You need some veteran players, and the aquisition cost is zero.

Now one and 2 year deals are better as you can flip them at the deadline for more picks but signing mid level UFA's is definately part of rebuilding.

In 3 to 5 years is Wideman still a PP QB? yes so that is part of the future. Is Hudler a second line winger on a playoff team? Yes, you sign him.
