Major League Soccer announced Friday morning the full schedule for the 2022 offseason, just one day before kick off of the 2021 MLS Cup playoffs. Teams involved in the postseason won’t begin offseason proceedings until they are eliminated, but for the 13 other clubs that didn’t qualify, the preparations for the 2022 season begin shortly.
The Columbus Crew is among those teams that will begin the offseason on the day before Thanksgiving. The Black & Gold will have to submit all its bona fide offers to its current roster by next Wednesday, Nov. 24. Six days later, the Crew will submit a list of the players who have had options exercised or not exercised.
