Nycfc Salary Cap Discussion
- Thread starter MagnusPax
- Start date
Thanks for this. It looks accurate to me, except for two unfortunate things.
- The amount a DP costs against the cap also goes up each year. So our DPs will cost closer to $450k next year, not $436k.
- We have to pay down Mix's salary to sub-DP level with allocation money. At $750k salary, that's between $250-300k in allocation money gone right there.
That said, we still have some potential to get some room back. We can release whoever is out of contract to the re-entry draft (or free agency in the case of Grabavoy, Wingert, Hernandez, Saunders, or Ballouchy). I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 3-4 guys shed off the roster in this way, but it's impossible to know who's on an expiring contract.
It won't be. The guy is done. You can just tell. Even if he does recover, he will most likely be a shell of his former self.
Twitter, I assume? Nothing is popping up on the first page of google searches for Kwame Watson-Siriboe or Kwame Watson-Siriboe released. It could easily be true, it just seems broadly accepted as fact at this point.
MLS is weird. I'm not sure I read the paragraph at https://www.mlsplayers.org/salary_info.html the same way, but who knows. What they make isn't as important as whether they're under contract for 2016.
Unfortunately, I just checked your numbers and my conclusion is worse.

I think your salary cap number is slightly high, based on an old estimate before the 2015 cap came out.
A few numbers on my charts are estimates, such as the 2016 cap hit for DP's, the 2016 salary cap, and the amount of allocation money we'll have in the bank. But my conclusion is that we are somewhere between $150-200k over the salary cap as our roster stands today.
I left KWS on the roster for now until that gets confirmed. But we are going to have to find ways to shed a few more pieces. Hopefully a few of these guys are out of contract and we can send them to the re-entry draft.
Yikes.
George John's cap hit was $326k. It didn't count this year against the cap because he was on injured list but if he heals he will count again. Although I think his contract is up in 2016 (http://sportspayroll.com/george-john-salary-new-york-city-fc/). So it's possible they could renegotiate to get that number down.
As for the DP contracts, last year Lamps and Pirlo only counted half of the amount or ($387k/2) $193,000. Now all 3 will count for 2016 new DP amount of $436k. So just the 3 DPs hit the cap at a whopping $1,308,000 just for 3 players. That's 1/3 of the cap. Too bad none of them are young DPs, those under 23 cost only $200-$150k.
question is how much allocation money do we even have? It's like mysterious monopoly money that no one speaks of.
Not utterly god awful and making the league minimum, that means he stays.
However he is taking up a international slot. A new foreign coach might want even more starting internationals not less.
Did we sign each player we took in the Expansion Draft to a new contract? Or are we paying them whats left on their contracts with the teams they came from?
I believe NYCFC just acquired their MLS rights but they are signed to league contracts with existing terms.
Pretty sure non-guaranteed comp doesn't count, so performance bonuses aren't a factor. That's what I read on the MLSPA site anyway.
There could be allocation money left over from this year. Maybe.
We should get between $250-$500,000 in allocation for not making the playoffs.
We won't for sure have as much as we did in Year 1. So my guess will be its around $500k tops.
