Anyone notice the article on Van Sicklen had $$$$ facts.

$30,000 deal with up to $15,000 in incentives, plus an option.

The one-year guaranteed with three league option years is the standard MLS contract.

Rarely does a player get two years guaranteed. (I think Petke got it this year in return for less $).
