Jason Robertson signs four-year, $31 million contract extension with Stars
Robertson will now make $7.75 million per season
www.cbssports.comI don’t have live results in my current view, but here’s what’s widely reported about Jason Robertson’s contract situation as of the latest public updates:
- Historical baseline: Robertson signed a four-year contract with the Dallas Stars in 2022 worth $31 million, with an average annual value of $7.75 million, through the 2025-26 season. This established the framework for his next negotiations and a potential raise as he moved into restricted free agent status.[1][2]
- 2025-26 season context: Robertson led Dallas in scoring for the 2025-26 season with 96 points (45 goals, 51 assists) and played a pivotal role in the playoffs, which typically increases the leverage and expected terms for a new deal. Multiple insiders and outlets have projected a significant salary increase beyond his current $7.75M AAV, with qualifying offers and potential extensions discussed in the summer of 2026.[3][5][6][9]
- Public chatter and implications: Recent analyses and podcasts in 2025-2026 have debated whether a long-term, eight-year extension or a shorter-term bridge would make sense for both Robertson and the Stars, given cap constraints and the ascending value of top players after standout seasons. Reports in early 2026 suggested Dallas would still be working through negotiation dynamics, with some sources noting a “wait and see” approach entering the 2025-26 season’s end, while others projected a substantial payday once a deal is reached.[5][6][7][9][3]
