Trinity Rodman Questionable for Spirit Semifinal as Talks Over Future Intensify

Direct negotiations with the NWSL commissioner center on salary against growing WSL interest.

Overview

  • The Washington Spirit listed Rodman as questionable for Saturday's semifinal against the Portland Thorns after she participated in full group training on Friday.
  • Rodman's agent has spoken directly with commissioner Jessica Berman about keeping her in the league, with salary identified as a key sticking point.
  • NWSL club caps at $3.3 million and roster limits constrain domestic offers despite no individual max salary under the CBA.
  • Her contract expires at season’s end and she will be a free agent; she is concluding a 2022 deal reported at $1.1 million.
  • Her camp has held talks with at least three WSL clubs, and injuries this season limited her to 15 appearances after an Oct. 15 MCL sprain and earlier back issues.
