Heath Oliver extends with Merchantmen
Three days before opening weekend, the Maassluis Merchantmen and defensive tackle Keith Oliver agreed terms of a new four-year contract. Oliver was due to become a free agent after the 2086 season and according to league rules, they had to renew the contract before week 1 games. Oliver signed a $208 million contract with a $69 million signing bonus. Oliver is regarded as a key member of an elite run defense.
The news comes a day after the Merchantmen re-sign left tackle Nathan Hadinger to a 5-year deal worth over $146 million. Still recovering from an unguinal hernia, Hadinger is expected to miss opening weekend, but ready for action in week 2.
The Merchantmen hope to agree terms with safety Bart Guthrie in the next two days, to lock up all their key players that are in the last year of contract. The team also expects to re-sign some of the seven other veterans in the last year of contract, of whom none are expected to be a starter in the 2086 season.
