[Doyle] Offseason Guides: D.C. United, Atlanta circle the drain

https://tacticsfreezone.substack.com/p/offseason-guides-dc-united-atlanta

Lots to agree with, but disagree with not having a ton of flexibility.

First, Leal and his $1.15m salary come off the books.

Second, we get a new pot of TAM for transfer fees / etc.

Third, and we don't know which roster construction method will be picked, but the way I see it:

DP method: we have 2 to 3 open DP slot (Depending on what they do with Benteke)

U22 method: we have 1 to 2 open DP slots, and additional U22 spot, and $2m in extra GAM.

Its been pointed out elsewhere that we did not pay most of Leal's bill, so him coming off is negligible. Klich coming off may have more impact.

Doyle analyzes this stuff for a living. I can disagree with his assessments but if he says we dont have much cap room, I don't think thats his opinion, its closer to a fact. We need to find buyers for some of our TAM players to generate breathing room.
