San Jose Earthquakes acquire goalkeeper Earl Edwards Jr.

TRANSFER MONITORING STATUS: Trade

• SJ receives: Earl Edwards Jr.
• NE receives: $150,000 GAM

The San Jose Earthquakes have acquired guard Earl Edwards Jr. from the New England Revolution, the clubs announced Monday.

In exchange, New England receives $150,000 in general allocation money (GAM) for 2025.

Edwards Jr. played 10 seasons in MLS, with Orlando City SC (2015-18), DC United (2019-20) and New England (2021-24). He played 21 league matches during these stops.

“We thank Earl Edwards Jr. for his four seasons with the New England Revolution,” New England athletic director Curt Onalfo said in a statement. “Earl is the ultimate professional and a true class performer, on and off the field. We wish him nothing but the best in San Jose.”

Edwards Jr. is the fifth San Jose newcomer this offseason who was part of the Revs’ 2024 team, following defenders Dave Romney and Nick Lima and midfielders Mark-Anthony Kaye and Ian Harkes.

The Earthquakes’ Arena era officially begins on February 22 when they host Real Salt Lake (10:30 p.m. ET | MLS Season Pass), looking to bounce back from a last-place finish in 2024.
