I would be too, but $7 million on our bottom pairing is way too much. Fat has to be trimmed somewhere, and all of Wideman, Smid and Engelland are on the books for next year too. And Wideman has a NMC. As much as Smid and Engelland are reliable, other teams can find cheaper options for similar play.
Kris Russell is going to have to go, unless BT pulls a rabbit out of his hat.
