It's been 172 days (5 1/2 months) since Jermaine Jones played in a competitive soccer match (he did play one USMNT friendly during that span). In that match, he was a member of the New England Revolution and he left the field in disgrace after being shown a red card for aggressive and violent conduct towards referee Mark Geiger.
Fast forward to Saturday, when he's expected to finally return to the field, and a lot has changed for the veteran United States midfielder. He has a new team in the Colorado Rapids and with them comes a much lower salary than the $3 Million he made in 2015.
