Agreed. The contract looked highly suspect at the time and it has been a pleasant surprise that Wideman has lived up to his big dollars so far (minus the injury plagued 2014 season). His minutes and role are likely to decrease with Hamiltons arrival though so it will be interesting to see how the next 2 years unfold for Wideman. I know he said the way Gio prepares for games/season has caused Wideman to alter the way he prepares which is positive going forward
