Generally yes, but not specifically re Minnesota if by extra TAM you mean the voluntary TAM that teams self-fund. Do they even have one DP yet?Think these international signings have anything to do with all that extra TAM floating around?

Hmm, I wonder how Montreal and Houston who have DPs could have a lower salary than teams (Minnesota and DC) who did not. Not curious enough to research it though.Nope. Most they've ever spent was $550k on Vadim Demidov who was a complete bust as a TAM player. But they also weren't the lowest spending team either by payroll.

You got me curious. 2017 looks like year 4 of a long term contract. There must be a substantial kicker at the end that hasn't been paid yet.Supposedly that number is off

I think you can, but they would take the backend payment and spread it over the life of the contract for the purposes of salary cap calculations -- we don't know Piatti's salary cap hit, just his salary.I thought you couldn't backend Ks in MLS.
Dude, like, forever. They lowball the hell out of it. As we've mentioned and you agreed with elsewhere, there is plenty of comp taking place that they just ignore.Since when are MLSPU contract information released well documented as erroneous? That's news to me
no. Likeliest alternative outcome is over-dilution. Better to mildly over-spend while bringing more talent into the league pool.Just a quick thought: Does anybody else think that MLS mighT be giving too much allocation money to expansion teams? I find it crazy that two years in a row teams are going to come into this league and compete straight away.
I'm mildly annoyed they figured it out one year too late to help us, but it's the right way to go.Just a quick thought: Does anybody else think that MLS mighT be giving too much allocation money to expansion teams?
