In a recent post, we explored the dread of a possible impending 2018 Expansion Draft for LAFC, and what that might mean for Atlanta United’s 2018 roster. If you missed it, you are lucky. Do not click this.
In today’s dreadful post, I look at the salary budget situation for Atlanta United heading into next year, or at least, I try to explore it as best I can given the limitations on information related to the team’s balance sheet (talkin’ General Allocation and Targeted Allocation moneys here) and certain other unknowns (Guzan’s wages).
This post will mostly avoid the basics of MLS roster and salary cap rules and GAM and TAM, not because I expect anyone to have them memorized nor because I pretend to be an expert, but mainly because they’ve been covered several times elsewhere, often by much smarter people.
