This was expected -- Bez had already mentioned negotiations & options being declined. But still very sad, especially so shortly after the Cup win. That's the downside. Most other years, TFC fans would have a long list of players to dump in the off-season (usually w/o any realistic plan on how to replace them).
I know it makes business sense, but after the last 2 years (and the last few weeks), still very sad to see players like Cheyrou, Cooper, Endoh, and Edwards gone. That's what happens when your team doesn't suck.
Might some of these guys come back on a lower re-negotiated contract, instead of what was guaranteed in their option year?
