It's a big help in the sense that teams can add to the depth of their team. Essentially, with TAM increasing 800k this year, clubs could add, say 2 new players in the 800k range, buy down their "cap hit" with the TAM money to only 400k a piece. MLS cap is very complex, but that's my simple understanding of it.

So are they basically able to "buy down" the cap hit of contracts? And this increases the amount they can buy down?
