Do you want him here next year and do you think he will be? (Jeff Dunham) Regarding the rumors of the addition of two possible expansion team in the next couple years (most likely Las Vegas and the return of Seattle); If two expansion teams were added this offseason and you had a protection limit of 8 players for the expansion draft, Who would you protect and why?
