Beckham playing in the US?

Don't know if anyone's been following this, but the MLS has instituted a new rule where they can keep a maximum of two players on the team that are not counted against the salary cap.

This is significant since now they can compete with the big leagues as far as money goes. No player would rather play here than in Europe (it would be like competing for the CFL instead of the NFL) but some players may prefer to START in MLS as opposed to riding the pine in Europe. Instead of getting the washed up 38-year olds, we'll get the 'few good years left' 33-year olds.

And Beckham could be the first.
