Ola Kamara was one of Dome's targets for striker ahead of Heber. Don't know how Cushing views him at age 33, but he's now in MLS Free Agency after he's out of contact with D.C. United after the 2022 season.

The Young Prince wasn't going anywhere. He's 'fraid o' nuthin' . Just lace 'em up and get after it.
 
Agreed. I think Tayvon is a good player, but I don't want him penciled in as a starter at fullback. He's not good enough going forward. Also agree that I think he'll be a better CB than FB.
If Callens re-signs and the back three stays intact Tayvon may end up starting at right back. And who knows, maybe his attacking skills will continue to improve. He certainly was much better late in the season than he was at the beginning.

But he's a natural defender. He belongs at CB. I don't think anyone thinks he'll ever be another Boom at RB.

Tayvon’s the poor man’s version of what ever the hell Alex Callens does as a third CB

Give him time. He's only 20 and he's still developing. There are facets of his game which haven't emerged yet, and he may already be our best one-v-one defender.

I definitely wouldn't put anything past him. He got thrown to the wolves when Boom went down in 2021 and handled himself about as well as anyone could have hoped. I'm sure there's a lot more to come.
 
they still have to announce roster movements. so i assume that will be the next announcement today.
They've already announced Tayvon today and they'll want to spread them out a little to have something new on the wires on a consistent basis. But maybe.

If they do have a big stadium announcement in the offing, they won't want to step on it too much though.

EDIT: Meaning roster announcements. NOTHING is going to step on a stadium announcement. LOL

They're going to announce waiving callens the same day they announce the stadium just so that it doesn't hurt as much. Just you watch :(

God, I hope callens stays...

there are actually many questions marks. Tinnerholm already gone. but chanot johnson, maxi, callens all still up in the air. also santi loan situation needs to be figured out.

Maxi contract has a 2023 option, I'm curious if they'll do it or not

Wow Pelligrini option declined...so what was the point of getting him? i assume they going to try and get another deal with him?

Edit: Maxi Stays.
Vuk and Zelalem option declined too. Sean Callens Haak still negotiating. not clear on santi there just mentions his loan is up on december 2022.

A little surprised about Pellegrini. Cushing must not have rated him or he didn't train well. Because he certainly never got a chance on the field to show what he can do here.
