The Colorado Rapids announced today that they have received General Allocation Money for former Rapids defender Maynor Figueroa who was able to secure a contract with FC Dallas. This is technically considered a trade as the Rapids still held onto his rights.
For Figueroa this is a terrific move as he will move to arguably the best team in the Western Conference and will get a chance to play for Oscar Pareja who has had great success as coach of FC Dallas leading the hoops to the Western Conference finals last year.
