Blessing's on a max of 103k in 2019 too.
Plenty of players other than Ofori who are less efficient usages of cap space than Latif Blessing in this league.
Yep. What I was pointing out is that Blessing is the best retrofitting job of this year's MLS. Of course it helps to have Atuesta and Kaye (another completely overlooked player) and the rest of the XI. But to have the foresight to get him in the Expansion Draft and play him "out of position" to maximize his potential, that's amazing. The guy is only 22. They literally stole him from under SKC's nose. The natural downside of success is that now they've had to re-sign him at TAM level, so they only got 2 years of him playing like a beast and getting paid like a low-level sub. So there's a limited window there. Still... How can WE do something like that? Maybe Isi at LB?
