Maybe there's injury relief coming soon?

So a system where you can tab players you 'discovered' and offer them a special category of contract because they're 'home-grown'

SOURCES: The #NWSL has implemented a new player development rule (PDR) allowing teams to ID youth players and shape their development. If the player eventually signs in #NWSL, that team gets significant salary cap relief through their 23rd birthday. Signings could start in 2028.

A thought sticking with me from Vlatko’s intro today:
He just moved from the team with by far the best facilities in #NWSL to the one with the worst
He wouldn’t do that if he wasn’t convinced there was a path to the Stars significantly elevating themselves in that department
