Wideman can be moved, teams inquired about his availability at the trade deadline, he's moveable for sure.

He can be moved, but can he be moved without retaining salary or getting a big contract back? I doubt it. I don't see teams trading for Wideman in the off-season for just a draft pick/prospect and taking all of that salary. Trade deadline sure, but not in the off-season.
