Correct. If a player's salary exceeds 350,000/year, then they qualify for a Designated Player slot. Each team can have 3 DP slots. These are usually used for top Hispanic players, older elite European players, or good USMNT players (Dempsey, Donavan, Bradley, Jones, etc.) Salary cap is expected to nearly double as it should. MLS needs to be able to keep their younger players and be able to entice young players to skip college. |
Don't forget can use allocation funds to buy down contracts as well, so the 3 million number is a soft cap of sorts.
