It doesn't appear too be much of a silly season. Most drivers seem to be staying put.

I posted this in the news & rumours thread too, but it seems appropriate here: Mikhail Aleshin confirmed at Schmidt Peterson for 2016.

Has Schmidt commented on Jakes at all for 2016?
Is there potential for them to run 3 cars? |

According to racer.com there won't be a third car. Perhaps in Indy and perhaps in that races where Indy-Lights do not compete, but not in the most races.

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder where Jakes and his $$$ may go? Rahal? KV?
On the Rahal front - Steak & Shake signed as title sponsor for 2016. |

If Jakes has $$$, surely a lesser team would pick him up or Ganassi could run a 4th car for him...

Congrats to all those who have their contracts in place at this point during the off-season. These guys have done good work.

Talked to Chip Ganassi yesterday and he said, there will be a fourth full-season car without Sage.
