My favorite DC United player, Josh Gros, just re-signed with the team in a deal that triples his salary. After making a paltry $28,000 last year, DC is finally paying him a reasonable wage for the caliber of play he provides. Perhaps United’s generosity was also a result of guilty consciouses for not playing him in their devastating 4-0 loss to the Fire in last year’s playoffs. (In my opinion, Nowak’s questionable lineup changes — starting Jamil Walker?! — had a large effect on the final scoreline.)
