Overview

  • Jarome Luai’s two-year deal through 2026 includes a three-year player option until the end of 2029
  • Luai must elect to trigger his extension by April 30, 2026 or else he can open negotiations with rival clubs from November 1, 2025
  • Jahream Bula’s contract offers the Tigers a mutual 2027 option at $900,000 and grants Bula an $800,000 player option if not retained by November 1, 2025
