Didn’t know about this. Sounds minor. I like the quote that he is happy to come back. Out of all the things that went wrong for us last year, picking him up was one of the few things that went right.

Yeah the end of season press conference was reassuring that he's keen to stay. Langdon won't have the same level of loyalty to the guys Troy brought in but I'm sure he will recognize the value in re-signing a guy like Fontecchio.

Perhaps he got his toe lined with adamantium, like Wolverine's skeleton. That should make him better in combat.

Seriously, it took months for him to get surgery. I'm betting it's minor and his docs wanted to see if it'd heal on its own.
