I believe Chanot was once included on the year-end departure post with no mention of a renegotiation. And then he came back. There may have been one or two more like that. Maybe Gudi becomes one of them?

Isi is hurt too much. Less likely to be taken and less of a loss if he is.
Including McFarlane (the last academy signing) and Mitrita, we have the full 30 people on roster. That means, if we want to add any new players, we need to cut back somewhere.
Medina is a DP and makes over $1 million/year. Was this the end of his contract? I think it was. That means he would have needed to come back on a lower salary, because there is no way we sign him for that much.
Gudi makes $400K/year, which puts him 13th on the roster. For what we get, he is very affordable. On the other hand, we have 3 other LBs on the roster behind him. Still, this one is a head scratcher.
Torres is the lowest paid player in our "Senior Roster" at $105K. He hasn't played, and I suppose the Club wants to take their chance on a different guy.
Rocha sits on our Supplemental Roster and makes less than Torres. Given that he was in line to be started against Philly in the Eastern Conference Final, this seems good value for money. This one is also a surprise.

If Isi isn't protected, I'd think he'd be taken in the Expansion Draft (dependent on who else from MLS is available). At his best, he can be a 15 goal scorer in a season on a decent salary for that production.

hes not gonna be back till summer? earliest? charlotte not taking him
I don’t know. I read on here that we expect him back in March. I thought he was out for all of next year but apparently I was wrong.
I don't think an expansion team would take a risk on an injured player. Smart move by NYFC in my opinion.
EDIT: sorry, I was meant to reply to the below post...
No it's not. They're not taking a guy who won't play almost all of 2022. Smart strategy. They've exposed a bunch of players that aren't appealing to select. They won't take Maxi because they know he won't sign with them. And a lot of guys unprotected are guys without a contract for next year. Isi seems to be the only appealing player worth taking. Maybe Malte, but that's it. So the question becomes: Does Charlotte want a high-priced attacker with consistency/health issues, or are they looking more for projects. This list seems to be built with the idea that even though there's talent being exposed, it may not be what Charlotte is looking for. Smart piece of business by David Lee.
And if Isi is selected, we'll miss him but we will also be able to replace him.
