Ian Murphy - Traded to Colorado Murphy was traded to Colorado Rapids from FC Cincinnati, the club announced.
Impact Murphy is set to join Colorado after three solid seasons with Cincinnati, where he featured in at least 27 games per season and logged nearly 2,300 minutes this year. He contributed 39 tackles, 30 interceptions, and 61 clearances in 31 matches this season. His arrival at Colorado addresses a major defensive need for a team that conceded 60 goals last season. While Colorado impressed offensively, scoring 61 goals, close to the top three in the Western Conference, defensive improvements are essential. Murphy's addition should strengthen their backline and help reduce goals conceded moving forward.

Jonathan Lewis - Talking new deal with Rapids The Rapids declined the option for the 2025 MLS season in Lewis' contract, but both parties remain in negotiations over a new deal.
Impact From an involvement perspective, the 2024 season was Lewis' second-worst year with Colorado, as he was limited to just 26 appearances and a mere eight starts. He scored three goals and added three assists, however, so he found a way to remain productive even amid a reduction in minutes. Both parties are expected to hold talks during the offseason to determine whether the winger will remain with the club or not.

Michael Edwards - Could remain with Colorado The Rapids declined the option for the 2025 MLS season in Edwards' (back) contract, but both parties remain in negotiations over a new deal.
Impact Edwards spent most of the 2024 MLS season either sidelined or as a bench option, as he was limited to just two starts and four appearances throughout the campaign. Even if he stays with Colorado for the 2025 campaign and beyond, he's not expected to be anything more than a depth option at the back for the Rapids.

Sebastian Anderson - Negotiating new deal The Rapids declined the option for the 2025 MLS season in Andersson's contract, but both parties remain in negotiations over a new deal.
Impact Andersson was a regular option off the bench for Colorado, but he made only five starts through out the 2024 MLS campaign. Even if he re-signs with the club, he's not expected to have a big role in fantasy.
DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Lalas Abubakar - In talks with Colorado The Rapids declined the option for the 2025 MLS season in Abubakar's contract, but both parties remain in negotiations over a new deal.
Impact The defender recently completed his fifth year with the franchise and started in 17 of his 20 appearances, notching one assist, 64 clearances, 24 interceptions and 13 tackles. Talks are expected to continue between both parties, though no deadline has been established to make a decision. To note, Abubakar started in all but two of the games he was available for Colorado since the beginning of June.
