You're probably right, but.
There's always a chance that in these weird times something is going on behind the scenes that is taking all of Trelivings time and/or energy. Or that negotiations (with Ward or someone else) are in limbo because it's an unprecedented situation to negotiate in and something else needs to cleared/sorted out before things can move forward.
Making any significant new financial commitments must be really difficult in this situation. Leaguewide income suddenly tanked, the future of the whole economy is currently unclear, and it's not even being 100% guaranteed when the next season will start, let alone what it will look like.
At the very least both sides in a contract negotiation would likely want to spend a lot more time than usual to go over the details of the contract.
