Brady Olivera re-signs

You tell Demski he gets the ball 3-6 times a game and Brady 15-25 (run + pass combined for both).  Brady takes a massive beating almost every touch.  Demski gets a bad bump maybe 1-2 times a game.  You tell Demski we're still a run-first team.

You also give Demski a bump, as I'm pretty sure he'll get.  $25k more easily.  If young Kenny-esque Philpot The Greater is $275, then Demski is easily closer to $240 than $200.  The only reason Demski can't get $275 is he's way older and thus is a bigger injury or talent-cliff threat.

Brady is arguably the best rb in league, while Demski is maybe in the top ten receivers. Throw in the age factor and 210 is a good max.

Teams have 1 starting RB and 5 starting receivers. If Demski is a top ten receiver in a 9 team league that's pretty impressive.

They really need to increase the league minimum because all that is going to happen is the top end player are going to end up with more money. The cap is going up for 10%, therefore Brady gets a 25% raise.....

I kind of think that's the way they want it.

It would be interesting to know more of the details. If we had significant 2025 SMS money left and used it for a signing bonus that would be useful. If we used some Marketing Money that would also be useful. Marketing Money I would think would come out of the 2026 amount. Both these could really reduce the 2026 SMS hit.

I'm not expecting that the Bombers will have exceeded the 2025 SMS but we'll see how that goes and whether a signing bonus had impact on that.

From a player point of view I don't think there is a tax advantage that imports get. OTOH a player may use the early money to push into RSP programs to offset higher income tax burden for example.
