Same here, but much like Wideman, Engelland was signed for a purpose and that was to shepherd a young, developing team along with a steady, veteran presence as well as to keep them safe.
And remember, again, when that deal was signed I think we were struggling to hit the cap floor.
Its no secret that I've been a huge Engelland fan since Day 1, and yeah, we all know the money is a little steep, but hes been worth it and I hope they keep him around. Hes a guy that you need in order to win, I just hope he takes a bit of a haircut on the price now.
