Overview
- Rodman was named to a 26-player U.S. roster for a January camp that starts Jan. 17 and includes friendlies against Paraguay on Jan. 24 in Carson and Chile on Jan. 27 in Santa Barbara.
- She is listed as unattached after her Washington Spirit contract expired at the end of December, making her one of the most sought-after free agents in women’s soccer.
- The NWSL recently approved a High-Impact Player mechanism designed to keep stars in the league by allowing teams to pay certain players up to about $1 million beyond the salary cap.
- The NWSL Players Association opposes the rule and is preparing for arbitration, criticizing eligibility criteria tied to media rankings, a marketability list, and recent USWNT minutes.
- With the European transfer window open, Rodman could sign abroad and withdraw from camp or re-sign with the Spirit to stay stateside for preseason next month.
