The Rapids made seven roster moves on Monday. Along with the retirement of striker Kevin Doyle, the player departures altogether have relieved Colorado of over $2 million in dedicated salary that they now have to play with going into the offseason.
Add to that amount an expected increase in the MLS salary cap for 2018, plus increases in General and Targeted Allocation Money, also known as GAM and TAM, and the Rapids are going into their offseason roster building with around $2.9 million, as well as one open slot for a Designated Player, and two open international slots.
