I'm thinking Ryu had nearly 2 years free and paid, he likes it here, and a home discount to win and to say thanks wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. I could be wrong, lol.
No, why would they do that? Ryu likes it here, I think we could allocate Whit money to him for cheap, 2 years for 20/25 million total. IDK... just spit ballin'
