Last week, the MLS Players Association released every player’s 2021 salary. While the salary guide is typically made public annually, it didn’t happen last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means the 2021 release is our first chance to gauge the salaries of recent additions like Younes Namli and Nicolas Benezet.
The Colorado Rapids have always had a reputation for being a little cheap, and in 2021 they have the fifth-lowest total salary in the league, totaling $10.1 million. And while pinching pennies has backfired on the Rapids in the past, this season, it makes General Manager Padraig Smith and the rest of the Front Office look like geniuses, rolling out a serious Western Conference contender and spending $2.2 million below the league average.

Montreal at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but just over five years ago now, TFC were in Harrison, New Jersey taking on the New York Red Bulls in match-day one of the 2016 campaign. Time really flies doesn’t it?
In 2016, TFC made just its second play off appearance, but more importantly, reached their first ever MLS Cup final, which was a testament to the immense growth and development of Toronto’s MLS franchise since their debut campaign in 2007.
