FC Dallas declines options on Cunningham, Sala

FC Dallas has declined to exercise contract options on forward Jeff Cunningham and goalkeeper Dario Sala.

The move Friday makes both players eligible for the MLS re-entry draft this month.

Cunningham ranks second all-time among MLS scorers with 132 career goals. He had a league-high 17 goals last season. The 34-year-old Jamaican started just 13 games this year and has 11 goals and one assist.

Sala was the longest-tenured FC Dallas player at six seasons, but the 36-year-old Argentine was relegated to backup duty while Kevin Hartman helped lead the club to the MLS Cup final. FC Dallas lost to Colorado, 2-1.
