I hope it's Stuver that's leaving...is stuver being traded? or last year pick being let go? we have 4 GK again this year to start year
Because we're NYCFC.Why pay GAM for a non-GA player???
The MLS minimum salary in 2019 is $70,250. If we amortize the GAM over 3 years, we're paying the backup keeper $95,250. Makes no sense.
MY ALMA MATER!!!!! WOOOOOOOWE GOT A TRADE. FOR $75k GAM!!!! I called it!!!
But they didn't take the player they should have.
GK Luis Barraza - Marquette
He's also not GA, so it makes not sense. Add that GAM to whatever we pay him. Shitty move on a backup GK.

ETA: Stuver made $85k last season. Rawls $69k, Caldwell $54.5k
to be fair to us, RB just paid more GAM for a lesser pick as well, what's up with that?If he's on the reserve roster there is a lower minimum. If he's on either the reserve or supplemental roster, and I bet he's on at least one of those for the first 1-2 years, then his salary counts as $0 against the cap.
I'm not saying this is a good move. But it's not utterly insane either. I think we like to keep 4 keepers, and keep 2 of them on the supplemental/reserve roster for $0 budget charge, and that probably requires cycling through those guys every couple years. We pay them dirt, but we want quality a notch or 2 above replacement level. We just paid $75k GAM for that.

Well, it’s not like we’re even spending our allocation money.If he's on the reserve roster there is a lower minimum. If he's on either the reserve or supplemental roster, and I bet he's on at least one of those for the first 1-2 years, then his salary counts as $0 against the cap.

I wish this team would have a bigger fanbase so each move could be scrutinized with the proper amount of eyes.
As a Dolphins fan, I don’t like him with the Jets.Like the Jets hiring Adam Gase this week? Sometimes if owership doesn’t give a fuck, they just don’t. No matter how many people complain.
