So, here's where the Revs stand as of 12/12/12:

* As a guess, they're probably about $900,000 under the cap, depending on what Cisse and Dorman will earn.

* Scott Caldwell will likely be player #24 on this list, and won't count against the cap this year. He should be midfielder #9 on the roster.

* Assuming no one else gets cut/released, they'll probably sign seven more players. Four of them will head to the off-budget roster, which makes it a good time to have all of those draft picks.

* That leaves three senior roster spots up for grabs with about $900,000 in cap space to work with. Two of the three senior roster spots can go to international players.

* Conceivably, the Revs could sign an International Designated Player at $350,000 against the cap, acquire someone like Kenny Cooper at $500,000 (...and perhaps pay down his salary to $400,000 with all of that allocation money) and STILL have ~$150,000 and an international roster spot to play with.

Hmmm...

I don't believe so, but that might require a little more research.

His salary is ~$125,000. However...

• A Designated Player over the age of 23 counts as $350,000 against the club’s salary budget, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season, in which case his budget charge will be $175,000.

 

Possibly. Rowe, Polak, and Fagundez could definitely take up spots 25-27 on the roster. Like I said, I'll have to look into this.

That's my assumption, yes.

Also...

* Yes, the 2013 Salaries won't be the same as the 2012 Salaries in many cases. Still think it's a pretty good guideline, though. I'm going to see if there's a historical guideline to see if there's a standard generic raise.

* Also need to check and see if Lee Nguyen also counts towards the Off-Budget roster. Seriously.

* Would be surprised if Nguyen got a raise. MLS tends to not reward players who sign elsewhere after college and then come back to MLS at a later date.

* Would also be surprised if Rowe graduated from Generation Adidas.
