The rumblings came out a couple weeks ago but now they are official as FC Dallas has mutually agreed to terminate defender Je-Vaughn Watson's contract.

Watson had been reportedly wanting to leave Dallas to be near his daughter in Philadelphia. He had been asking for a trade out of Dallas or he would retire. More than likely there wasn't another team in MLS that was going to be able to pick up his contract, so the team likely felt it was best to just terminate his current deal.

Watson appeared in 119 MLS matches, with 78 of them coming in a Dallas uniform. He came to North Texas in a trade with Houston almost two years to the day of his release.

The Jamaican international also appeared in 45 matches for his country, including a debut in 2008 at Toyota Stadium against El Salvador.

Now FC Dallas has another roster slot to fill in the back or even in the midfield as Watson was a converted fullback. What do you make of this news? Happy to see FCD accommodate a players' wishes or bummed that they're not going to get anything in return for him?
