Major League Soccer announced its first-ever class of free agents on Monday, with 26 players eligible to negotiate new contracts with any of the league’s 20 clubs beginning on Tuesday.
According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement agreed to earlier this year, players who were either out of contract or didn’t have their option picked up following the 2015 season and are at least 28 years old and have a minimum of eight years of service in MLS are eligible for free agency. Clubs will be allowed to start negotiating with free agents at 10 a.m. PT on Tuesday morning.
