For MLS nerds like myself, the annual spring player salary release is always a day that I look forward to. For starters, it provides plenty of talking points for the next few months for a slew of reasons. From why a player is earning what he is earning to how poorly they’re playing compared to how high they’re being paid.
This year’s release was no different. On Wednesday, I broke down the seven quick takeaways from the release and shared them with you, along with all of the salaries, in one handy chart/graphic.
But as I spent a little more time with the salaries again this morning. I noticed a few more things that needed to be discussed. Some items were in my head on Wednesday, but I needed time to get them written down here.
How ‘even’ is FCD’s spending?
I wasn't expecting FC Dallas to have the 12th highest spending in MLS this season. I was going to guess somewhere in the 15-18 range but not 12th. It is a 10% bump from a year ago, too.
