Terry Cooke is trialing with the Seattle Sounders.  I thought he might stay in MLS but never considered the Sounders as an option.  Right now it looks like its just a trial and nothing official has been drawn up.  Cooke is a good player but he is on the older side, 33, and has a high salary.  Additionally, how would he fit into the Seattle system.  Sigi likes fast players on the flanks but Cooke would give Seattle a different dimension.

We’ll have to see how this story develops.  Hopefully Cooke latches onto a team soon and gets back to playing.

Here are two articles discussing Cooke’s trial in Seattle and departure from the Rapids:
