League Was Able To Pay Trinity Above Salary Cap Thanks To Changes In Collective Bargaining Agreement<\/h3>\n

The league was able to pay her above the base salary by drawing from allocation funds, which allow teams to offer players amounts above the salary cap.<\/p>\n

By 2021, the NWSL salary cap was $682,500, not including the $400,000 in allocation money permitted, according to The 18<\/strong>.\u00a0The new collective bargaining agreement saw the salary cap nearly double to $1.1 million in 2022, with $500,000 in allocation money, the outlet reports.<\/p>\n

Those changes to the bargaining agreement increased the maximum salary for $75,000 for most players as well as the minimum pay to $35,000.<\/p>\n

Rodman is set to make a $281,000 annual base salary, which puts her at a higher salary that World Cup star and NWSL veteran Megan Rapinoe.<\/p>\n
