Thursday was a big day for Bay Area sports contract extensions. The contract situation that has taken the region by storm all summer finally got resolved, with the San Francisco 49ers agreeing to a four-year, $120 million extension with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. But shortly before that news broke? Some less stressful, less dramatic, less speculated on extension news: Steph Curry tacked on an additional year to his Golden State Warriors contract for a cool $62.6 million.
It’s not shocking news, but it is encouraging news. Curry, who will now eclipse $500 million in salary for his career, is showing faith in the direction of the organization by adding on to his contract when he already had two years remaining.
