He says he's coming to Winnipeg, so he'll sign. Faith and now Qadr. Two solid, solid kids. Those are the kind of players I want to see the team draft and develop. Just like Schiefle, Laine and Morriss

Matt Nichols playing special teams, a debate about the 'official' status of Geoff Gray's contract, Loffler with a mullet. Now GBill settles an argument on a board on which he is boycotting...

According to that link, "Chungh was entering the final year of his contract in 2017" which would mean he signed for 3 years initially.

Exactly. Everyone thought is was a two-year deal but it was actually a three (as I remember it).

It was a surprise re-signing (extension) because it came a year early and Walters was being praised.

I specifically remember Darren Cameron reporting Chungh signed for two years initially.

Something must've gone unreported.

I'm very confused. I've now seen Dunk's article that says two years.

He did report that. Obviously his report was incorrect. It happens.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has extended the contract of offensive lineman Sukh Chungh through the 2018 season. Chungh was entering the final year of his contract in 2017.

 

Which means he had originally signed a three year deal....

That sounds pretty definitive.

I remember it vividly. What I think must have happened was a miscommunication to the public with his original deal.

Or he had a two year deal and then was also extended for a year prior to this year.  Entering the final year of his contract doesn't necessarily mean entering the final year of his rookie contract.

But since the end result is he's still under contract, I don't really care which one it is.

It's like...which of my toes came flying out the woodchipper and which of my toes is still stuck in the woodchipper?  Does the answer change my day much?  Probably not.

Sukh Chungh was not listed on the potential free agents list for 2016 or 2017. If he had signed an extension prior to the one in February the team would have announced it.

I tend to think what happened is that after his phenomenal rookie year, they re-did his deal that offseason to give him a bit more cash right away in exchange for an additional season. Similar to what they did with Mo Leggett which, if I remember correctly, also went unannounced.

Could have been as simple as a miscommunication. Could be that they extended him as well, although it would be irregular for a team not to announce that for a player of his stature.

I'm just going off memory, but isn't that the offseason the Bombers switched from whoever it was doing their press releases to Rheanne? Maybe that's why.

 

Or maybe just classic miscommunication. Who knows.

I'm not sure. I can't recall when that happened tbh. Not that any of this matters anyhoo....we have Sukh extended and that's all that matters.

More than three months ago, actually. I didn't know it was through the 2018 season. Now I do, hence my saying it's great news.

And old news can still be great news, anyway.

The first deal was originally thought to be 2 years, and the boards were unhappy.  But then the truth came out when he extended...   Its not the first time that we were unhappy based on inaccurate info...

Apparently it wasn't definitely 2 seasons tho. The local press are wrong lots of times. Maybe it was 2 plus a club option for 3rd year. It's pretty obvious that it wasn't 2 years now.

Not that it matters, but for the sake of clarity: it was Darren Cameron who said this, so not exactly the local press.
