Insigne's camp explicitly said his contract was worth significantly more than the MLSPA numbers indicated.
And if he was on 7 mill usd a year he'd be easy to shift, that's 21 mill usd over the next 3 seasons as a total outlay assuming we'd let him go for free if we wanted rid.
I wish he was. He's not.
"Insigne’s reps, meanwhile, were upset that the 2023 MLSPA salary release did not include the star’s marketing deal that adds a significant chunk to his earnings"
From the paul tenorio athletic article.
Would guess it's not hidden off books, but seperate salary from his playing salary and maybe not needed to be included in the mlspa earnings?
Would also guess these contracts require him to be in Toronto. Which is why we've not seen any real links from Europe yet.
