Michael Edwards - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Unused from bench Edwards (back) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 2-1 draw against LAFC.

Impact Edwards made his way back to the team sheet for CONCACAF action Tuesday, finding a spot on the bench to face LAFC. However, he would not see a minute, instead going unused the entire match. This is still a good sign for the club, as he should be deemed fit moving forward and should be fit for opening day, likely to remain in a bench role moving into that match.

Signs new contract Edwards (back) has signed a new contract with the Rapids until the end of the 2025 MLS season. The deal also includes an option for 2026.

Impact Edwards returns for his fifth season as a member of the Rapids franchise since joining in 2021. The defender struggled to see regular minutes with the club in 2024, though, as injuries limited him to just two starts and four overall appearances. That role isn't expected to change in 2025.

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.

Impact Edwards made only his second start of the season on Wednesday, and was easily Colorado's best player on the day, blocking five shots along with his goal.
