What?! A defender making DP money? Chad Marshall is the highest paid defender and the defensive mvp of MLS for the last two years and he's only making $320K ($250K + incentives). DP money would put DeMerit at about $35,000 more, minimum (DP min is $350K).
Now hear him out. Which has been a stalwart in the USMNT for the last year or two? DeMerit. Which one averages a card every other game for the national team it seems? Marshall. What does Chicago need to improve (besides scoring)? a Defender.
DeMerit would give an instant impact to Chicago. Perhaps one even to propel them into the playoffs comfortably. Personally, I like the idea of a younger player coming in than 30yo DeMerit, but the guy is a local and well, needed there. Right now, MLS isn't really attracting young players. Heck even Adu is trialing with his 5th team in 3 years in Switzerland rather than coming back here with tail between his legs.
DeMerit sounds like a smart choice for Chicago. But again, DP money smart?
