WHY AREN'T THE BOMBERS DOING ANYTHING!?!?!?

 

 

Welll....uhhhhh...thas't something.....

 

other than this...

[mbrg]

Sorry.

 

I really just had two points to make.

 

1) Wooo

2) Hooo

[Mike]

Three years

 

nice

Three years

nice

Penton says 3, but Stoudermire wasn't on any free agent lists, so I wonder if it's really a 2 year extension, if he was already under contract for next season.

It's all semantics, but it'll essentially be them tearing up the existing contract he had for next year, rewriting it and adding 2 years.

 

More money next year in return for an extra two years of commitment by the player.

That sounds about right.

[Pete Catan's Ghost]

Terrific start to the off season

[Tehedra]

In an age where everyone wants 1 year contracts now; this is great news for a star returner like Stoudimiere hope he keeps up the excellent return work next year!

[MOBomberFan]

Wooohooo! Stoudermire was one of our best finds this season, and he didn't even attend TC.

[gbill2004]

He's only 24 years old now so we are getting his prime speed years.

[Jpan85]

Hopefully they can sit down with Willy and work a extension out with him. Sometimes getting these extensions done just as important as getting guys resign. Allows for more cost certainty going into the future.

[Mr Dee]

Many happy returns!

[TBURGESS]

Good move.  Stoudemire's the best returner we've had in a long time.

Any idea what his current contract term is?

 

I know he was signed to a contract last off season when we traded for him, but no idea what the term was.  I assume it was at least 2 years and that he is under contract for next year.

[Logan007]

Happy about this.

[Dirty30]

Hopefully they use him more on either the defence or offence as well

[B-F-F-C]

Yes, I'd love to see him used in a more mainstream role on either defence or offence. I dont necessarily see him as an every down kind of player but he could be used more often to take advantage of his speed.

[Stickem]

The green guys are kicking their arse all over the place for letting Stoud get away. Their return game sux and more than one person in riderville has questioned that move. Nice to get Troy under contract for the foreseeable future. Denmark now Stoudermire ...keep em coming Walters.

[gbill2004]

Many happy returns!

And hopefully happy endings...with a TD that is

[Mike]

Willy has a contract that goes until the end of next season currently.
