The regularly scheduled MLS salary dump has hit again, and while you certainly can’t learn everything from it, it’s worth taking a brief walk through Real Salt Lake’s numbers.
A few points to consider, as usual:
- This does not represent the salary budget impact a player’s contract has. Other considerations — including readily achievable bonuses — play into that.
- There is often grumbling that the numbers simply aren’t entirely accurate. That’s possible, certainly. We can’t speak to that.
- Remember, designated players only impact the salary budget at the league maximum.
