This is great and honestly should have happened long ago.
We should see an improvement of form from Gregersen now that there are other CBs able to be just as good if not better pace wise to track down and disrupt plays. He won’t have to be tasked with solely being responsible and should allow him to stay healthier longer. These are my hopes at least.
Do y'all think this was a good move, or should we have used this on Gregersen? I think he had a cap hit of $920K. Arguably we get better performance out of Gregersen when he is able to play, so it feels like the right move.
We have to pay for a buyout and since we weren't playing for Klich (I'm pretty sure DC was still paying his salary) we basically said "does anyone want him,"
"Per MLS rules, a club may place a player on Waivers at any time during the regular season at which point he is made available to all other MLS clubs. The Waiver Claiming Period shall commence on the first business day after the League delivers notice to clubs and expires at 5 p.m. ET on the second business day. If a player is not selected off Waivers ("clears Waivers") then that player is available to all MLS clubs on a first-come, first-served basis."

What’s the difference between buyout and waive (Klich)?

So both give you roster relief, but a Buyout gets us salary cap relief, but Waivers does not? Is that the difference?
Is DP or TAM a roster slot, or a salary categorization?
We were paying at least part of his salary so I’m not sure that’s the full story
