Red Bulls' designated player Tim Cahill earns almost $3.5 million in base salary and slightly more than $3.6 million in guaranteed salary, according to new figures that were posted by the MLS Players union.

Cahill, an Australian international midfielder, has a base salary of 3,499,999.92 and a guaranteed salary of $3.624,999.92. Since he was signed in July, those figures were prorated for the rest of the MLS season.

On most teams, that would make Cahill the highest-paid player. On the Red Bulls, he is No. 3, behind captain and striker Thierry Henry, who is the highest paid player in the league at $5 million base and $5.6 million guaranteed and defender-midfielder Rafa Marquez, who earns $4.6 million, both base and guaranteed.

Other Red Bulls who signed later on in the season included:

* Defender Diago Rodrigo, who has a based and guaranteed salary of $90,000.

* Goalkeeper Luis Robes, who has a base income of $44,000.04 and guaranteed salary of $46,500.04.

* And midifielder Sam Lloyd, who has a base salary of $120,000.00 and guaranteed income of $140,250.00.

The salary figures were updated at the MLS players union website on Oct. 1.
