Anybody want to predict who signs a new deal first? I'm going to go with Stanley Bryant.

Agreed

I have this bad feeling that he may retire. Completely baseless though, just a hunch haha

35 is not that old for a smart and effective OL.

And he's shown zero signs of slowing down. Hardrick has, at times, looked like he's wearing out... Bryant not so much. 

Hopefully Bryant, like Medlock, being toward the end of their careers (Whilst still being top-notch!) decide that they don’t want to bounce around the league,  and settle here on rolling 1-year deals until they are ready to hang em’ up. 

Bryant is only 33. Agree about Yoshi looking like he is wearing down. A Jefferson signing in December would be pretty great too.

Dont recall the amount he signed for originally but the DPOTY award will give em a raise.

Jefferson was 205 and Bryant well over 200 per year depending on bonuses for all-star and league award/nominations.

Bryants base was 160..165....Bonus I dont put into that as who knows what they get and Walters has gone on record saying that he avoids deals with structured performance/award bonuses because too many unknowns and can really eff up your SMS and limit things you may want to do mid season...where you get this well over 200 for Bryant from I'm unsure of...he is closer to 150k than he is to 200k

Can someone please remind me what the pay schedule is for the play-offs? If I remember correctly paid by the league, a fixed amount each round with the winner receiving more than the loser?

Prospect of play-off $$ has to fall in our favour in contract negotiations.

so basically our guys got 23,000k for those 3 weeks of work...and a ring lol

Not a bad month

so for a free agent looking to jump ship, and getting a shot at an extra 7000k+ at minimum just to play in play-offs has to be a bargaining tool..and that was the 4 year deal from 2015...prob goes up a bit for next year I would thinkn

Thanks @Booch , I have to think those numbers mean something to the players. A guy on a league minimum deal gets quite a nice extra chunk for being on a good team.

Yeah a guy like Sayles..Bailey and Lawler on a entry level deal..and a guy say like Kyrie Wilson who prob wasnt making a lot basically got a 1/3 or possibly a bit more of his total salary in that 3 weeks..for a team to say to a free agent/prospect that guys in 2019 made an additional 23k in bonus money from.being successful goes a long way

Not to mention a ring that will be worth at least $5k (my guess) as well as a bunch of travel money for family to attend the big game and likely other appearance $$ for showing up at different celebrations. 
 

I can’t see any FA not signing here over $5 or 10k like we heard not so many years ago. 

A reminder that Jefferson took less money to come to Winnipeg and has said many times that he's been very happy with how management and the city has treated him and his family.   I think he stays if they give him a fair offer.

he's said before being his own agent he just wants fair compensation...also said he wanted to sign a one year deal here last year..see how he fit..if he liked it, and if it was successful.. and the team/city was a fit and liked him back..Pretty obvious it all seem to work out as he hoped..

I love WJ, as we all do, but he was saying the same thing about wanting to stay with the Non Grey Cup Champion Saskatchewan Roughriders, so we better come with a fair deal and not a slap in the face like they did.

We need him here. Brings a lot on and off the field. We needed attitude like he brings.
