OFF-BUDGET PLAYER ROSTER (ROSTER SPOTS 21 - 31)
The salaries for all of these players do not count against the salary cap budget. This roster includes all Generation Adidas (until they graduate from the program) and Home-Grown players (they can stay off-budget even if they have signed new contracts since their original MLS contract). Non-GA/HG players can also be on this roster assuming that they make the minimum salary amount given their years of experience in MLS, so there is no age limit for these players (when MLS called these developmental rosters in the past, players had to be 25 years old or younger to be on this roster - this age requirement is no longer in place). These off-budget roster spots are differentiated by the minimum salary amount.

SUPPLEMENTAL ROSTER SPOTS 21 - 24
These players’ salaries will be at least $70.3K.

1. Matthew Freese #1 (G) (9/2/98) ($118.3K - $137.0K)*

3. Cory Burke #19 (F) (12/29/91) ($400.0K - $450.8K) [Jamaica – Green Card]
4. Abasa Aremeyaw #(?) (8/15/93) ($90.0K? - $90.0K?) [Ghana - INTL]

RESERVE ROSTER SPOTS 25 - 28*
These players’ salaries will be at least $63.5K with slightly higher minimums based on years of MLS experience - non-HG or non-GA players must make minimum salaries to be on off-budget roster.

1. Nathan Harriel #26 (D) (4/23/01) ($90.0K - $107.5K)*
2. Chris Donovan #25 (F) (8/8/00) ($77.5K? - $77.5K?)
