Friday was the final day for NWSL teams to exercise player contract options for the 2019 season, and Seattle Reign FC announced today that the team has extended the contracts of 13 players, while seven additional players are out-of-contract and have been offered new deals.

Among the players who had their 2019 options exercised were goalkeepers Lydia Williams and Michelle Betos, defenders Lauren Barnes, Theresa Nielsen, Christen Westphal, Alyssa Kleiner and Steph Catley, midfielders Jess Fishlock, Elizabeth Addo and Rumi Utsugi, and forwards Nahomi Kawasumi, Jodie Taylor and Jaycie Johnson.

Seven players were out of contract at the end of the season and will receive a new contract offer, but are currently unsigned.
