Overview
- Stewart said Wednesday on her podcast that she will stay in New York and skip free‑agency meetings.
- She is an unrestricted free agent, and neither she nor the Liberty has shared contract terms.
- A new league labor deal lifts team payroll caps to about $7 million and raises supermax salaries to roughly $1.4 million, which could boost her pay from last season’s $222,400.
- New York still faces decisions on other key free agents Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, Emma Meesseman and Natasha Cloud.
- The Liberty won the 2024 championship, exited early in 2025, and replaced Sandy Brondello with new head coach Chris DeMarco.
