Mentioned in this video
The boys go LIVE to discuss a draft day trade that lands winger Jayden Nelson with Austin FC.
In exchange, Austin sent $700,000 in 2026 General Allocation Money, $550,000 in 2027 GAM, and its 2026 MLS SuperDraft First Round pick (17th overall) to Vancouver. Vancouver may also retain a percentage of a future trade or transfer fee if the player is traded or sold above a certain monetary amount.
Nelson, 23, spent last season with Vancouver. He went on to make 40 appearances across all competitions in 2025 as Vancouver won the Canadian Championship and reached both the MLS Cup & CONCACAF Champions Cup finals, totaling three goals and 11 assists.
Nelson came through the Toronto FC academy and made his MLS debut with Toronto in 2020.
At the senior international level, Nelson has made 12 appearances for Canada including one in this past summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup. He scored against Cuba in a 2023 Gold Cup match and against Barbados in a friendly.
Nelson will occupy Senior and International designations on the Austin FC roster.
