Sam Stejskal reports for mlssoccer.com that Bradley Wright-Phillips' new contract with New York Red Bulls perhaps justifies the hype the club attached to it when announcing the deal.
Per Stejskal, BWP has been handed a three-year contract ("guaranteed through the 2019 season') that will pay him "between $1 and $1.5 million in each year of the deal": i.e. seven-figures for each year of the contract. It's not even close to the largest deal in MLS, nor is it a return to the days when RBNY happily splashed cash ($4-5 million per year, each) on the likes of Thierry Henry, Rafa Marquez, and Tim Cahill.
