RSL declines options on Wood, Besler, others

Real Salt Lake announced today the club’s end-of-season roster decisions, including declined options for Bobby Wood and Nick Besler, among others.

The full list of declined players includes Nick Besler, Chris Garcia, Bret Halsey, Johan Kappelhof, Tate Schmitt and Bobby Wood.

Wood is easily the most prominent on the list, with injuries besetting his 2022 campaign. Besler has been at Real Salt Lake since August 2017, having signed at the start of that year with Real Monarchs. He played just 243 minutes for RSL in 2022, the least he’s played for the club since signing.

Marcelo Silva is out of contract, which has been a point of discussion in recent weeks.
