The Revolution were joined by New York City FC and the New York Red Bulls in making roster announcements Monday, with the MLS offseason set to officially begin Dec. 11 — the day after the MLS Cup final.

NYCFC has declined the contract options for defenders Jason Hernandez and Diego Martinez, midfielder Connor Brandt, and forward Tony Taylor, while midfielder Federico Bravo and forward Steven Mendoza will return to their parent clubs after seeing their loan stints expire.

Patrick Vieira's side has agreed to new deals with defender Ethan White and midfielder Mikey Lopez and finalized a permanent move for defender Shannon Gomez, who was on loan from Trinidadian side W Connection.

The Red Bulls, meanwhile, have chosen not to exercise the options for defenders Karl Ouimette and Ronald Zubar.
