What happened: The package for Lucas Herrington includes $17 million guaranteed and $6 million in add-ons. The Colorado Rapids plan to reinvest the proceeds, calling it an opportunity they will not let slip by.
Why it matters: The deal gives Colorado substantial resources for roster changes during the 2026 regular season. The sell-on clause preserves further upside if Herrington moves again for a profit.
By the numbers: The guaranteed fee represents about 74% of the maximum $23 million package, with add-ons accounting for the remaining 26%. Colorado retains 15% of the profit from a future sale.
What to watch: Colorado’s incoming transfer business will show how quickly the club puts the proceeds to work.
