There will likely be more to come, but the Caps officially signed their first three NASL "call-ups" today.
Included in the mix was home-grown player Philippe Davies, a 19-year-old defender/midfielder from Quebec (which should make Impact fans happy that Montreal is finally getting serious about an academy).
Also inked was defender/midfielder Wes Knight, 24, and keeper Jay Nolly, 28.

Of note, all are domestic players under the new MLS rules. That's likely by design as the 'Caps will want to know how many international spots they have before committing to any international players. On It's Called Football this week Bob Lenarduzzi was clear that the 'Caps valued international slots and were actively looking to acquire them.
All three contracts are also on the lower end of the pay scale. They were likely less complicated than the contracts that will almost certainly be offered to Terry Dunfield and Davide Chiumiento, which is probably why today's signings were less splashy than what might have been expected.
