Today, the New England Revolution declared Preston Burpo, Nico Colaluca, Cory Gibbs and Khano Smith eligible to enter the re-entry process via draft on Wednesday, December 8 and 15. The Revolution declined their 2011 contract options and those eligible players may choose to participate or opt out. Burpo broke his leg in a collision with Dane Richards in the spring, and Colaluca was never provided with an opportunity to show his ability. The Revolution have the fourth selection in each round of the re-entry draft.
