Dennis Rodman’s Daughter to Make More Money in NWSL Than Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe
Trinity Rodman, the 19-year-old daughter of former NBA star and Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls champion Dennis Rodman, became the highest-paid player in the history of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) on Tuesday after she received a contract extension with the Washington Spirit after earning Rookie of the Year honors in 2021.
As reported by Marca, her new contract will be for four years and $1.1 million, or $281,000,000 per year, which replaces the one she signed in 2021 for three years and a net salary of $42,000 plus housing and other bonuses with the Spirit.
In addition, the new deal has a one-year extension clause through the end of the 2025 season.

With this contract, Trinity will earn more than the big stars of the Women’s League: Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, who have contracts for $250,000 per season.
This because Trinity has made a name for herself in the league, with a successful season and a call-up to the USWNT, as well as being the youngest player to be drafted in the first round of the NWSL draft in January 2021.
In 2021, Rodman earned NWSL Rookie of the Year accolades, as well as US Soccer’s Young Player of the Year, and was the only one on her team to be invited to USWNT training camp.
