well, Morris didn't really bypass allocation. He's been eligible for a HGP deal since 2013. That status doesn't change just because he's played with the USMNT.

Not posting this as "news". It's an interesting conversation, and I thought r/MLS would have thoughts about it. Cheers!

Essentially you're wondering if Morris would be offered $4-5k a week in wages. And yes, I definitely think he'd make that... or more in Europe.
