2016 Colorado Rapids season

At home, they conceded only 7 goals, setting a new MLS record with a 0.41 goals-against average.

The team was bolstered by incoming transfer targets Tim Howard, Shkëlzen Gashi, Marco Pappa and Jermaine Jones.

Outside of the regular season, the Rapids reached the fifth round of the U.S. Open Cup before falling to eventual champions, FC Dallas.

For transfers out, dates listed are when Colorado officially removed the players from its roster, not when they signed with another club.

Only trades involving draft picks and executed after the start of 2015 MLS SuperDraft will be listed in the notes.
