Rodman signs blockbuster NWSL extension, rewriting pay scales in women’s soccer

Trinity Rodman’s three-year extension with the Washington Spirit reportedly exceeds $2 million per year with bonuses, shattering the women’s football salary record and reigniting debate over the NWSL salary cap. The league previously vetoed an earlier contract, prompting the High Impact Player rule and a grievance from the NWSL Players Association, while Spirit officials insist the deal reflects elite talent and commitment to the club. Rodman, 23, Olympic gold medallist and daughter of Dennis Rodman, remains with the Spirit after weighing European interest and potential moves away from the NWSL.
