Overview

  • Winnipeg announced the agreement Wednesday, completing it before Thursday’s season opener against Dallas, with the new deal starting in 2026-27.
  • The extension carries a $12 million average annual value and includes full no‑move protection with multi‑year signing bonuses, per multiple insider reports.
  • Darren Dreger reports the $96 million total is structured as $55 million in salary and $41 million in signing bonuses.
  • Spotrac lists the contract as the most lucrative in Jets history by total value and AAV.
