MLS Real Salt Lake traded midfielder and former U.S.national team player Clint Mathis to the Colorado Rapids for midfielder Jeff Cunningham on Monday.
Cunningham scored 12 goals and had three assists for the Rapids last season and was an MLS All-Star for the first time. He scored 62 goals in seven years with the Columbus Crew before getting traded for a draft pick last winter.
Mathis returned to Major League Soccer last season after a frustrating year in Germany. In his only season with expansion Salt Lake, he had three goals and four assists in 27 games.
