    "Swiss club St. Gallen has terminated its contract with U.S. international Frankie Hejduk and has released his player certificate, which frees him to sign with MLS.

    This was the final bit of paperwork remaining in the Hejduk situation. The Crew can sign him as a discovery player, since the teams with allocations -- the Metros and Colorado -- passed and no other team bid for him when his services were made available to teams in reverse order of their finish last year."

    So I guess that settles it, if the report is true.

    This is the first report I have seen that states the other teams have already passed on Frankie.

    It also states that he will receive in the neighborhood of $200,000.

    Does anyone know what that means for our salary cap numbers? Can we still sign Dunseth and/or Washington, etc...?

    That seems impossible.
