= = == == Here are the players I think the Reign should strongly consider extending, based on impact, ceiling, and roster stability: === === Veronica Latsko – She’s been one of the most consistent presences in the attack, especially given how frequently the front line has rotated. Her work rate and pressing are elite. Alana Cook – Locking down a franchise-level center back should be a top priority. Even in inconsistent team phases she has remained one of the most reliable defenders. Claudia Dickey – She’s grown a LOT and is becoming a legitimate starter-caliber NWSL goalkeeper. If the club wants stability at GK, this is the best opportunity to secure it. === === Olivia van der Jagt (OVD) – Tremendous value, flexibility, and upside. A pure modern 6 who still has room to grow. Hard to replace at her current roster cost. Bethany Balcer – She can go quiet for spells, but her finishing ability and off-ball movement are rare. If the price is right, you keep goals on the roster. === === Rose Lavelle – Incredible talent, of course, but availability has been the issue. If she’s willing to stay on a moderate deal and the team believes they can manage her minutes, it’s worth it. Otherwise reallocating her cap hit may make sense. == == === === Quinn – This is tough because they’re an excellent player, but the team hasn’t always used them in the best way, and there may be value in a trade if the front office believes a different type of midfielder is needed. Phoebe McClernon – With defenders like Huerta aging and the back line needing a refresh, it might be time for a broader reshuffle. Jess Fishlock – A Reign legend forever. But given her age and the team entering a clear transition era, it may be the right moment to redefine her role to a smaller-minutes veteran or allow her to move if she wants a new challenge. This is an emotional but realistic call. === === Megan Rapinoe (retirement) – If she does retire (likely), this naturally opens a DP-like cap slot and forces the front office to rebuild the attacking identity. == == === === Striker (true #9) – The Reign have needed a consistent, physical, hold-up and finishing striker since Balcer’s role shifted and since Leroux wasn’t a long-term solution. Someone who can score 10+ in a season changes the entire attack. Attacking Mid / Creative 10 – The team desperately needs chance creation that doesn’t depend solely on Fishlock heroics or Lavelle availability. Outside Backs (both sides) – Defensive depth has been thin, and the modern NWSL demands outside backs who can overlap, defend in space, and deliver quality balls. Reign have lacked consistent two-way wide defenders. === === * A depth CB with pace * A goalkeeper to challenge/rotate with Dickey * More bench scoring options == == Probably yes. The issues this season feel systemic: * Stagnant attack structure * Predictable buildup * Difficulty adjusting mid-game * Underutilization of younger talent * Aging core not evolving with the league’s increasing pace Laura Harvey is a legend and foundational figure, but the roster is entering a true rebuild, and that might require a new tactical vision. Unless she wants to architect the rebuild herself, a change could be healthy. == == === === * The rebrand → Restore connection with the local fanbase. The OL era alienated some long-time supporters. * Increase local marketing presence (bus ads, light rail ads, more community engagement). * More affordable packages for families and students. === === * Better public transit coordination for Lumen Field * Improved NWSL-specific matchday atmosphere * Continue pushing for a soccer-specific training complex === === * Clearer communication from the new ownership about strategy, spending, and ambitions * Transparent timeline for a long-term home (if they intend to pursue one) If you want, I can also create: ✅ A roster depth chart ✅ A full offseason plan (signings, trades, draft targets) ✅ A version written in more of a Reddit-comment tone Just let me know!
