Major League Soccer will host Stage One of the 2016 Re-Entry Draft today (Friday) at 2 p.m. CT, allowing clubs to acquire players who are either out of contract or who have had their options declined by their previous team.
Players who are available in Stage One of the Re-Entry Draft are:
- Players who are at least 23-years-old and have a minimum of three MLS service years whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2017).
- Players who are at least 25 years old with a minimum of four MLS service years who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2016 salary).
- Free Agents that choose to participate
Players who are not selected in Stage One will be made available in Stage Two on Thursday, Dec. 22 at 2 p.m. CT. While Stage One allows players to be acquired for the same salary they earned in the previous year, Stage Two permits teams to negotiate new contracts with the acquired player.
The Re-Entry Draft Order is determined by the reverse order of the final standings in the MLS season, taking into account postseason performance.
