Reigning NWSL Rookie of the Year Trinity Rodman signed a new deal with the Washington Spirit this week that reportedly marks the richest contract in league history.
Rodman, 19, signed a four-year deal worth reportedly more than $1.1 million, per the Washington Post, on the heels of the first collective bargaining agreement (CBA) in the NWSL's 10-year history. It is more than six times what she was making on her previous contract, a three-year deal averaging $42,000 in base salary that she signed after being drafted No. 2 in the 2021 NWSL draft.
Rodman led the league in assists with seven and scored seven goals. She was named the U.S. Young Female Player of the Year for 2021.
She was the youngest to ever be drafted into the league when the Spirit selected her in January 2021. Rodman, the daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, was 18 years old and only the second teenager selected following Sophia Smith, who was drafted at No. 1 in 2020 at the age of 19.
