I actually think it more likely that LV will approach UFAs like Stone, the majority of whom will politely decline their contract offers and then sign extensions with their current team or test the market two weeks later. Do you believe that if LV is interested in acquiring Engelland that they will choose to not approach him during their exclusive negotiating window? I think if they can get a deal done with him prior to the expansion draft at a reasonable figure they will do it.
