There was breaking news out of Stamford Bridge on Sunday as Chelsea announced that club captain and legend John Terry would be departing after 22 seasons at the club.
Terry, who is 36-years-old, has won 14 major trophies with Chelsea, including the 2012 UEFA Champions League. Terry has made 713 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions, captaining them in 578 of those matches.
Almost immediately after Terry’s announcement, rumors began to circulate about a potential move to MLS. The precedent is there. Terry’s former teammate with the club and/or country, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole, have all moved from the Premier League to MLS.
