A few weeks ago Soccernet ran a story on the low-dough nature of MLS Developmental salaries. I've already given you my 2 cents on the topic so I won't regale you with repetition. What I will do is give you a look at an actual developmental contract complete with bonus structure, extension options etc.
One thing I should point out is though this is an authentic contract, the names have been changed to protect the innocent. No team on earth would be foolish enough to sign Dirt McGirt aka Russell Jones.

Interesting find, thanks for posting. For anyone wondering, I believe gross of taxes means before taxes. The player is responsible for paying any taxes. Net of taxes would be after taxes are withheld by the employer.
Unless I'm thinking backwards...
I took home more than that working at Starbucks in college.
Yeah that contract was a complete bull chit because that's not fair talking about the salary I had the same problem when the Arsenal soccer team wanted me. Buy Viagra Generic Viagra
Very nice way to post... I mean this'll be my next topic because I've been wondering the same issue, but I think we need more structure about it, you know what I mean... it's all about sources and types to posted. 23jj
