Scout report
R. Cannon is a 28-year-old central defender at Colorado Rapids, rated 32.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 276th of 520 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (80.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cannon.
Judged on this season alone, Cannon graded 29 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 6 clean sheets and 3.701 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 49th of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 28 Cannon is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cannon missed 3 games through injury (groin) out of roughly 34 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Cannon is operating at his career peak — the 2020/21 level is the level.
Output in context · Colorado Rapids finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.1, Cannon carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 105, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Colorado Rapids finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
