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.

May 23, 20178 yr comment_263934 I specifically remember Darren Cameron reporting Chungh signed for two years initially. Something must've gone unreported. Report

Chungh was entering the final year of his contract in 2017. Which means he had originally signed a three year deal.... Edited May 23, 20178 yr by TheAardvark Report

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. Report
May 24, 20178 yr comment_264152 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. Report
May 24, 20178 yr comment_264160 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. Report

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. Report

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. Report
May 24, 20178 yr comment_264164 The rookie contract was definitely two seasons...the local press wrote about it and about worrying if the club would lose him.... Report

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. Report
