The Sounders have declined contract options on multiple players, including MLS Cup MVP Victor Rodriguez and top defender Roman Torres, the team announced Wednesday.
Defenders Jonathan Campbell and Saad Abdul-Salaam and midfielder Alex Roldan also had their options declined by the Sounders. Center back Kim Kee-hee, winger Harry Shipp and left back Brad Smith’s contracts have ended, but those negotiations are ongoing with those players, according to a release from the Sounders.
The Sounders picked up 2020 contract options on midfielders Handwalla Bwana, Jordy Delem and Gustav Svensson and forward Justin Dhillon, bringing the club’s roster to 18 players.
