4. COBI ON BOARD: Agent Cory Clemetson says Galaxy midfielder Cobi Jones has agreed to a "restructuring" of his contract and will sign today or tomorrow.
Three years ago, MLS signed Jones to a deal that Clemetson says was worth more than $600,000 annually in salary and other compensation. Tie-ins to marketing deals boosted his income considerably.
Clemetson wouldn't disclose what Jones will earn this season but confirmed he will relinquish his status as the league's highest-paid American player. Freddy Adu is set to earn $300,000 in salary and $500,000 in total compensation this season.
Jones came on as a sub in the Galaxy's 3-1 win over U.C. Santa Barbara Tuesday.
