Not really true, sure several MLS teams have higher prices DPs so their total is more like $10 million a year or more. But only TFC, Seattle, LA are at that level. Nyc and Orlando probably in the 7-8 million range (mostly because Kaka & Villa). Still cap keeps it lower, much lower than big teams in Europe.Yeah, the salary cap, the way it is now, is a total joke. There's a million loopholes and exemptions so even though it looks really small, you can spend way more on players than the "cap".
There will be clubs paying 25-30 million in salaries this season with a 3.6 million dollar cap. Lol
However not much incentive for MLS to raise it. 40,000 came to see NYCFC . Which is roughly what the friendlies did last year. But NYCFC is paid 1/20th what those guys at MC make. More profit!
