AP Source: NWSL may adopt policy allowing teams to sign select players above the salary cap

The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) is moving forward with a new roster mechanism, known as 'High Impact Player,' which will allow teams to sign select star players for salaries exceeding the current salary cap. This decision, approved by the NWSL board of governors, aims to help teams attract and retain top talent while managing cap implications. The proposal still requires review by the NWSL Players Association due to existing collective bargaining agreements.
