"On behalf of the New York Red Bulls, I would like to thank each of these players for their contributions to the club both on and off the field this season," said Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh in a statement. "We wish them all the best for their future."
The Red Bulls, who were eliminated from the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs, presented by AT&T, by the New England Revolution on Saturday, will also be bidding goodbye to star forward Thierry Henry, who on Monday announced his intention to leave the club after four and a half years in New York.
