Bill Tuiloma is one of the 17 names put up by Charlotte FC to be eligible for the MLS Expansion Draft. Each MLS club had to put up this list, but in turn, they could also protect 12 players from being poached in the draft as well.
The Expansion Draft is of course for the new boys San Diego FC, who will get to pick up five 'non-protected' players (from a pool of about 350 available) as they look to build a squad for the 2025 season.
Always thought Bill played his best on the west coast...just saying... He just hasn't been the same since he was traded/sold by Portland...
Not saying he'll be picked up, but there is a possibility. You'd also have to think that he probably needs a move somewhere soon if he's to get back into AW's consideration, as things don't necessarily look particularly rosy for him if he stays in Charlotte (apart from the bank balance of course).
