With the flurry of moves by the Vancouver Whitecaps over the last 24 hours, and honestly, over this off-season, you might be wonder what the Whitecaps roster situation currently looks like. We are here to break it all down for you.
First, let’s start with the MLS Roster Rules. The club has 30 roster positions which they can fill. However, some of those positions have certain requirements. Roster positions 1-20 are considered the ‘senior’ roster. These players count towards the $4,035,000 salary cap.
Roster positions 21-24 are called ‘supplemental’. These salaries are ‘off-budget’, meaning they do not count towards the salary cap.
