Some MLS player salaries

The Post published several MLS player salaries today.
Some will surprise you, others will depress you.

Donovan (#1) -$900,000
Johnson- $875,000
Adu- $500,000
.
Gomez- $158,500

Guppy- $120,000
.
Noonan- $75,000
Gros- $28,000

Recently "Retired" Wiz Detter- $11,700 (I would retire too)

Interesting.

I could be wrong, but isn't Mathis near the top there too (or maybe he was)? I heard a number, but I don't want to post it if it's completely off.

Ok, so I wasn't completely off. I read a few weeks ago that Mathis makes $300,000.

So Mathis doesn't perform as well and is getting paid more. Interesting.

Actually Mr. Stucki, we started this thread talking about EJ's $875,000 new salary, however, this new NY Times article says EJ "only" makes $675,000.

Huh?
