Beckham Believes MLS Should Remove Salary Cap 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Apr 1, 2014 8:59 pm

David Beckham believes the MLS would benefit from the league lifting its salary cap.

Teams currently have a cap of $3.1 million when it comes to paying squad members, though each club can sign two 'designated players' outside that restriction.

"We're restricted with some of the players that you can pay over the wage cap," he told beIN Sports. "That (salary cap removal) is what we'll work for, we'll work towards that.

"Obviously that's one of the things that stops a lot of players coming over here, where I think this league and certain cities in this country will attract big-name players."

Beckham is launching his own franchise in Miami.
