US EditionPlayers' Union Files Grievance with NWSL over Rejection of Offer to Trinity Rodman
The NWSLPA claims the league violated the collective bargaining agreement by rejecting a salary-cap compliant, four-year offer to retain Rodman amid European interest.
- On Thursday, the National Women's Soccer League Players' Association filed a grievance alleging the league violated the collective bargaining agreement by rejecting the Washington Spirit's four-year, multimillion-dollar offer to re-sign Trinity Rodman after Bloomberg reported the league's rejection.
- Under the NWSL salary‑cap framework, the Spirit's four‑year offer backloaded pay into 2028–2029 and fit the $3.5 million cap, the union says.
- Trinity Rodman, now a free agent, joined the NWSL in 2021, signed a four-year deal in early 2022, and has drawn interest from deep-pocketed European clubs.
- The league said it will use every lever available within its rules to try to keep Trinity Rodman in the NWSL, reaffirming that position in a statement Thursday.
- With the league's media‑rights deal set to expire in 2027, league officials say their aim is to keep top talent as commercial growth and club revenue accelerate.
