Here is part of your answer with a reported Fox/ESPN $70 million/year US TV deal starting in '15 which is 2.5 times the current deal. That should bump up the $3million salary cap significantly.

Hopefully the production quality improves with Fox and the length is more like 4/5 years.

ESPN and Fox Sports have emerged as the front runners to sign a new rights deal with MLS, according to several sources. The sides are in advanced negotiations that would have MLS double its rights fees to an annual average of $70M per year for at least eight years.
