MLS contract options: Who's staying and who's going entering 2021 offseason

Roster decisions: With Sounders' announcement, all 26 teams are in

Rosters - MLS logo with black background

As the 2020 season draws to a close with MLS Cup on Dec. 12, all 26 clubs will be revealing their decisions on player contract options in advance of a busy offseason during which they'll be retooling for next year's campaign.


Latest updates up top, then a club-by-club snapshot below featuring all roster decisions. Players who are staying, those who are going and others who have received new contract offers from their club:




Dec. 14: Sounders final club to announce


The Seattle Sounders revealed their contract decisions following their loss in MLS Cup to the Columbus Crew and, with that, all 26 teams have revealed their roster update.


They have plenty of roster spots to fill.


Sounders veterans Gustav Svensson and Roman Torres are out of contract, while they declined the contract options on the likes of Joevin Jones and others. They currently have 19 players under contract for 2021, though noted the club are in further negotiations with a number of players out of contact.


Another player in question for next year? Designated Player Joao Paulo. The Brazilian's loan expires at the end of the month and Seattle are in talks with Botafogo to hopefully extend his stay with the club. 




Dec. 14: Rapids sign a number of players to new deals


The Colorado Rapids signed the likes of Drew Moor, Steven Beitashour, Clint Irwin, Danny Wilson and Collen Warner to new contracts as they currently have 26 players under contract for 2021. Colorado picked up the contract option for 2019 Rookie of the Year Andre Shinyashiki as well.


Starting goalkeeper William Yarbrough is set to return to Club Leon upon the expiration of his loan, though the clubs remain in negotiations about a potential return. 


Abdul Rwatubyaye, Deklan Wynne and Niki Jackson all had their contract options declined. 




Dec. 14: MLS Cup champion Crew announce decisions


Less than 48 hours after winning MLS Cup, amid the celebrations, the Crew have turned their attention to the offseason. 


Columbus retained their Cup-winning core, including picking up the contract options for Eloy Room and Pedro Santos, while opening a little flexibility with 22 players under contract. Winger Younes Mokhtar and forward Fanendo Adi are among the players not under contract next season, though the Crew noted they're in discussions with a number of players about a potential return. They didn't specify which ones. 


The Crew announced their acquisition of goalkeeper Evan Bush earlier on Monday as well.
