From the article:
Sean Davis, New York Red Bulls At 28 years old, Davis is in his prime and just played every single minute of the Red Bulls seasons. Hes started 20-plus games in four of the past five seasons, and has been very dependable in his performance. Hes coming off a deal that paid him $375,000 per year, and it will be interesting to see what kind of salary he is seeking in free agency, but considering his production and durability, hes an easy choice for a team that needs a No. 8.

Related, Man I would LOVE to get Rusnak from RSL. Unfortunately doubt we pay the wages needed to get it done.
I would bet Davis gets a TAM deal and i would be down to pay that for him. If he goes would leave a big leadership void.

According to MLSPA, we are holding options on Long and Meara (they would be foolish not to pick up Long, but who knows with Meara), and the only free agents and Davis and Royer.
Hope Royer goes to Europe. Don't want to see him on another MLS team, like so many of our once-greats.

Lindpere getting subbed on for the Fire during the SS game was a bizarre afterthought. I felt a bit bad for him in that moment.

Meara: I'm interested to see what happens with Ryan Meara. Assuming we keep Carlos Coronel, Luca Lewis vanished from the NYRBII team and AJ Marcucci played fantastic. Not sure if Lewis was being groomed for the backup role and stayed with the first team for much of the season or if he was written out of the team's plans for the future.
Long: Long's agent, Shaun Higgins, did not like how 2019 played out with the valuation and rejected offers. Then Long tears his Achilles and jeopardizes a potential future move. If it was another agent, I think we have a Kaku situation given how FIFA has handled the "team option". However PFC (the agency) handles a lot of MLS guys and would be doing more harm than good.
Royer: Sadly, I don't think we see Royer back.

Plenty of other roster detritus that will be out of contract or have their options declined

Given that he's a local guy who is already accustomed to the backup role, is there a chance Meara restructures his contract to stick around at a lower salary? Assuming Thelwell and Struber even care to keep him around.

I like Meara, but he wasnt allowed into Canada this season (maybe that will change) and, even though he played 0 MLS minutes, he still managed to pick up a knock and miss games. Hes just not reliable enough, even as a backup.Given that he's a local guy who is already accustomed to the backup role, is there a chance Meara restructures his contract to stick around at a lower salary?

Just read a piece in the Athletic about MLS free agents come this off-season. Sean is on the list.

That was temporary, Meara already went to Canada the second time we went.
Why is Duncan not listed on the MLSPA site? https://mlsplayers.o...y-list-released

Can't imagine Davis is more valuable for another team than he is for us, and going from captain to potentially fighting for a spot elsewhere at 29+ seems suboptimal.
So just a question of agreeing on a number, I would think. Would be nice (for the team) to not go into TAM for him, but obviously wouldn't begrudge Sean if he manages to get a bit more cash.

not a free agent just out of contract. In mls rules he would go through rentry draftThat was temporary, Meara already went to Canada the second time we went.
