COMMERCE CITY — Jermaine Jones may have played his final game in Rapids burgundy.

Jones, who came to Colorado via a trade in March, said Sunday after the Rapids’ 1-0 loss to Seattle that he’s keeping his options open as he heads into free agency this off-season. He made it clear he’s looking for a pay raise. He earned $650,000 this season after making $3.05 million with New England last year.

“People know that I came to this league as a (designated player) and this is where I want to go back to,” Jones said. “I’m a free agent now. I will sit back and see what comes. I’m not scared to go back to Europe or scared to go to Mexico or somewhere.”

Jones is out of contract with MLS and could sign elsewhere. If he re-signs with MLS, the Rapids would have his rights.

Jones’ season in Colorado was a mixed bag. He missed the first six games due to suspension, then played brilliantly during eight starts in the middle of the season, scoring three goals and adding two assists, before sustaining a knee injury July 4 that sidelined him nearly four months.

“This season was special,” Jones said. “My situation was completely different before the season and I said, ‘I don’t care about money,’ and I come and I want to play and I want to show people that I can be an impact player.” Related Articles November 27, 2016 PHOTOS: Rapids lose to Seattle Sounders in Western Conference finals

Jones, 35, wore the captain’s armband for the Rapids on Sunday with regular skipper Sam Cronin suspended.

“Jermaine had a very good game. He was a catalyst to everything we did on both sides of the ball,” Rapids coach Pablo Mastroeni said. “He did about everything you would expect a player to do in that position to do except score.”

Jones, a U.S. international, said he plans to spend time with his family before making a decision on his next contract.

“I’m really relaxed,” Jones said. “There’s no pressure on me. It’s always good if you have the cards in your hands and especially if you’re a free agent.”
