Seattle's defense is going through several changes this offseason. Anibaba is now with KC. Traore is almost certain to retire and looks to be working for Sounders2. Yedlin is heading to Tottenham. One thing that will not change is Zach Scott. On Twitter today he announced that he intends to play at another year.

@WeAreECS You guys just love the beard! Much respect to ECS for the honor. I'll be back next year, let's go win a sh*tload more trophies. — zk scott (@zkscott) December 14, 2014

Scott played more than 300 matches with the Sounders (all competitions, two leagues). While he will be undergoing surgery this offseason, he should be healed in time for the start of 2015. Scott is a Sounders legend. He embodies a spirit and energy for the organization that is rare in modern sports with players that play for other teams so frequently. He is a one club man and a Sounder for life.

There is no word as to whether Brek Shea's move to Orlando City has now been canceled.
