The offseason is officially upon us.
MLS announced today the list of 37 players eligible for Free Agency. Starting at 2 p.m. PT on Tuesday, Free Agents may engage in negotiations with MLS clubs outside of their previous club.
Players 28 years of age and older with eight MLS service years who are out of contract, or have had their option declined, are eligible for Free Agency in 2016, allowing them the freedom to negotiate a new contract with any MLS club, including their previous club, subject to certain restrictions. A player has fulfilled a year of service if they were on a club’s roster prior to August 15 or played in at least one regular season or postseason game in the relevant year subject to USL loan exceptions.
