David Beckham to play for L.A. Galaxy

That contract is heavily laced with endorsements. Along with the new rule about 1 player not counting against the cap, I imagine the structure being the maximum salary from the MLS, and endorsements covering the rest. $1 million a week is not too shabby. Real told him to stick it...and it looks like he did well for himself.

This will set a precedent to see some of the aging European superstars come to America for one final hurrah. Ronaldo is on the verge of that. Considering he's put on a few lbs from his heyday. Should bring the level of the MLS up a bit.

I think the MLS's following will strengthen a bit with this move and an updated TV Deal (they've had a TV deal before, but now they get paid to be on TV). Should be an interesting season coming up, with the Galaxy games being a focal point on ESPN2.
