Noonan Waived

The Rapids waived Pat Noonan today. My guess is that he was a casualty of the new guaranteed contract language in the new CBA. The Rapids didn't want to be locked into a 6 figure contract for a guy who appears to be on the quick downside of his career. An update on our roster situation:

Goalkeepers:
Ian Joyce
Matt Pickens

Defenders:
Julian Baudet
Danny Earls
Kosuke Kimura
Drew Moor
Oscar Murillo
Scott Palguta

Midfielders:
Mehdi Ballouchy
Colin Clark
Nick LaBrocca
Jeff Larentowicz
Pablo Mastroeni
Jamie Smith
Wells Thompson

Forwards:
Conor Casey
Omar Cummings

Under Contract (type unknown):
Midfielders:
Ross LaBauex

Forwards:
Andre Akpan

Under Development Contract:
Goalkeepers:
Steward Ceus - On loan to Charlotte

Defenders:
Michael Holody
Rob Valentino - GA

Midfielders:
Ciaran O'Brien - GA

Forwards:
Ross Schunk - On DL most if not all the season with ACL tear

On Trial:
Midfielders:
Andy Lorei

That's 17-19 senior contracts (depending on the nature of Akpan and LaBauex's contracts) and 3 developmental contracts + 2 that don't count towards the roster cap.
