    The NWSL/Trinity Rodman Contract Saga

    Annie, Ella & André do their best to break down why this will be an important week for the Spirit's quest to re-sign Trinity Rodman. We break down each aspect of the saga, from Rodman wanting to stay and the league seemingly caught off guard by that fact, to the proposed contract that's the center of a grievance, and a newly proposed mechanism that has some good/some bad, but is ultimately a workaround that would leave lots of players behind. We get into it all!
