Why it matters: The added payroll flexibility gives Atlanta United room to continue its roster overhaul under Tata Martino. Gregersen had recently shifted into a substitute role.

By the numbers: The 2026 MLSPA salary guide listed Gregersen at an $850,000 base salary and $970,000 in guaranteed compensation. He entered as a substitute Aug. 16 and Aug. 24.
