  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.1, Cannon carries the 70th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
