Interesting question. I definitely take the first for Hudler. This team wont be competing for a championship next year either so jettisoning Wideman a year early is not worth much. Plus, maybe he gets you something at next year's deadline.
Now the owners might like saving $5 million. To put your question another way, if the team could pay $5 million to move from the 2nd to the 1st round, would they do it? As a fan, I'm saying yes. But not many teams, if any, would be prepared to do that.
