Will RSL be playing the free agent market?

Last Tuesday, Major League Soccer ushered in a new era as the first crop of so called free agents was officially released. These players are over the age of 28 with at least 8 years of league experience and would now have the ability to hire out there skills.

For the first time in the league, veteran players now have the right to choose - to choose where they practice their talent and how they want their new contracts to look. This is a considerable change to the league's modus operandi as the league would previously assigned the rights of players to a single club in hopes of avoiding internal competition as a single entity league.
