Details on Josh Alexander's TNA contract (Patreon)

TNA has exercised their one year option on Josh Alexander's contract, and we've now got more information.

Fightful has learned that Alexander's TNA deal would have been up on February 14, which if the option year was not exercised, he would have been a free agent. As the deal was two years with a company option year, TNA picked that up. Alexander's current deal expires on February 14, 2025, at what point he'll be a free agent unless another extension is reached.

There were many speculating that Alexander's deal was extended as a result of injury time, but we're told that actually isn't the case. While Alexander was sidelined, he was working backstage and as a producer, so the clock was still ticking on his contract. 

UPDATE:

Around the time we'd published this article, we'd heard some rumors internally that Josh Alexander had asked for his release prior. However, we're told that wasn't quite the case. Instead, Alexander had requested that TNA not pick up his option. He was open to negotiating a new deal, but he wanted to survey the landscape if possible. However, TNA did exercise the option, and there are no concerns from the company about Alexander meeting his contractual obligations and working hard while he's there. 

We're also told internally a "re-signs" graphic was made for Alexander's announcement, before being changed to "extended." In actuality, it's TNA exercising their third year options. For those in the comments asking about that, it was TNA's call within the contract for that to happen.
