Excellent, excellent spread of salary cap.
Lots of good, cheap players, no more overpricing (Martina at 90k for example)
Frei making 150k is fair.
Stevanovic at 250k is I guess justified based on his pedigree.
All in all, a much more "average" salary spread than years past.
Ouch...when you take all the salaries into account, it almost 2.4mill of base salaries and 2.7mill of guaranteed comp. When you take into account that we are paying half of DeRo and Barrett's contracts, unless we have a crapload of allocation space, there is no more room for players.
That's a good thing?
Players in the roster spots from 21 to 30 don't count towards the cap.
And I didn't know Stevanovic's salary was that high. Is TFC paying that in full?
Barrett and DeRo were our top 2 scorers last year and they totaled 600k in salary. How many player salaries are you going to have to add up to reach their production on goals and assists by the end of the year? I wouldn't be surprised if goes well past 600k. So in that respect, no, it's not better "bang for your buck". I am not sure how you are measuring this efficiency, but it will be an interesting exercise at the end of the year.
We have a good spread to move forward in the future (beyond this season)
The salaries confuse me a bit. Which is it that is the actual cap hit, the base salary, or the compensation? And what is the difference between them? How would someone get the 'compensation' rate, instead of the base?
Adrian Cann, Stephan Frei, Peterson (especially), Srurgis and Stenanovich, WTF?
do Harden and Peterson have the same agent? if so, he's a fucking genius.
Peterson is over-paid by about $100,000 a year.
Wow Ecky only on 75,000? That's a steal. Soolsma seems a little overrated considering that at >$80k
In your math have you considered:
- only the first 20 roster spots count against the cap
- Tchani is a Gen Adidas player and does not count
?
Regardless, only the base salaries count against the cap. Cap is 2.67M.
And if we bring in someone else, only half of their salary counts against the 2011 cap given when they would arrive with the transfer window.
Assuming that we didn't release anyone off the current roster we could easily fit in a cap max hit player (ie. DP or combination thereof) without allocation money.

Fairly good salary spread. Once we stop paying all those bad Mo Johnston contracts we'll have some more breathing room.
Hypothetically we'd still be under the cap at this point no?
based on the top 20 idea and only base salary counting against the cap including half of barrett's and DeRo's, we are approaching 2.3mil, so we are 370k-400k under the cap, but we have 30 players now, so someone will have to be released in order to make room for any new signing
Wow - Eckersley at that price is a huge grab.
I think most will agree J-Pete is overpriced.
And Stevanovic, well, even though I'm a huge fan, I'm surprised about the salary. I'm very happy he's on the squad though and thought he had a great game last night. Hopefully he stays fit and we see some great production from him going forward.
Among the non-DP contracts, Peterson's salary is an eye sore. Otherwise, it's a very reasonable spread throughout the roster.
It's encouraging to note that management has enough cap space to sign 1-2 impact players during the summer transfer window, pending the release of 2 existing roster players.
I'm assuming that is Eckersley's wage at burnley unless we've only had to pay a percentage same for stevanovic
I am I correct that nicholas Lindsay was de-activated or w/e since he is a long term injury, leaving us with a free roster spot? Or is that only FM rules ahahah.

Lindsay, and depending on his recovery from surgery, Bouchiba, could be SEIs, permitting replacement signings.
I hope that is not the salary that Cann was pissed about lol
Kenny Cooper $250,000 .. wow .. steal.
And yet we in 5 years still don't have a legit striker.
Dropping Tchani and JDG down to $335k our current roster is $1,985,476.
We know we have some of Dero and Barretts but we also get allocation $ for not making the playoffs as well as making the Concacaf we should be in great position to pick up a DP mid year.
I also love the new home grown rule. If we develop a guy like Cordon each year that can turn into a starter our roster will be solid.
