MLSsoccer.com contributor Sam Stejskal reported that according to sources, Real Salt Lake has begun contract discussions with Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando.
"The source said that discussions with both players are in their preliminary phases and that nothing is expected to be decided before the end of the season," Stejskal wrote. "Both Beckerman and Rimando will be eligible to sign with any MLS team as a free agent this winter."
After looking at contract numbers, Stejskal then talked about what Beckerman and Rimando have meant to RSL over the years.
"Perhaps the two people most synonymous with Real Salt Lake, Beckerman and Rimando have both been with the club since 2007," Stejskal wrote. "They led RSL to the MLS Cup title in 2009 and helped the club to appearances in the finals of the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League, 2013 US Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup. They rank first and second in MLS history in regular season appearances, with Rimando atop the charts with 450 games played and Beckerman not far behind with 430."
