It’s not surprising after an eleventh place finish, but there are some changes coming to the Chicago Fire roster for 2021. There are currently 27 players signed for next season, but a few familiar faces aren’t coming back.
The Fire exercised the 2021 contract options on four players: forward Elliot Collier, midfielder Djordje Mihailoviu0107, defender Wyatt Omsberg and defender Nicholas Slonina.
Two players didn’t see their options picked up by the club: midfielder Jeremiah Gutjahr, and goalkeeper Connor Sparrow. Gutjahr is eligible for the MLS Waiver Draft, while Sparrow is eligible to participate in the MLS Re-Entry Draft.
