The MLS Players Union released the 2016 players salaries, and the Red Bulls got raises all around.
With the most recent MLS Players Union salary figures released, the New York Red Bulls no longer find themselves the stingiest team in the league.
The Red Bulls now spend approximately $5,186,000 on player base salaries and a little over $5,829,000 in guaranteed compensation. This puts New York at 14th out of 20 teams in terms of spending, ahead of Philly, Houston, Chicago, Columbus, DC, and Dallas.
2016 saw raises across the board for returning players. Anatole Abang, Sean Davis, Chris Duvall, Connor Lade, Karl Ouimette, Damien Perrinelle, and Sal Zizzo all had small to moderate pay bumps while Shaun Wright-Phillps and Kyle Reynish were the only two players to take pay cuts.
