Rodman Stays: $1M+ Deal Secures NWSL Star

Trinity Rodman has officially committed her future to the NWSL, signing a new contract with the Washington Spirit that extends through 2028. This decision, announced on Thursday, secures the league's most prominent star for the foreseeable future. Rodman's new contract is set to pay her over $1 million per season, establishing her as the highest-paid women's soccer player worldwide. This agreement concludes months of speculation and interest from clubs in the U.S. and England.

The negotiations were not without challenges, as the NWSL Players Association filed a grievance concerning the contract's structure, which remains unresolved. The league's introduction of a new high-impact player rule, expected to launch in July pending another grievance, reportedly paved the way for the Spirit and Rodman to reach mutually agreeable terms. Rodman expressed her commitment, stating, "I've made the DMV my home and the Spirit my family, and I knew this was where I wanted to enter the next chapter of my career."
