"Ryan joined the Dash in a transfer that sent a then-league record $400,000 in allocation money to Gotham, in addition to an international roster spot (Gotham sent back $80,000 in intra-league transfer funds). That transfer was announced in December 2024, a few weeks after Sheehan signed with Houston as a free agent. Both players were part of Gotham's 2023 NWSL Championship-winning team."
"Ryan started 24 games for the Dash last season, registering four goals and three assists. Her form over the past two years earned her semi-regular call-ups to the United States women's national team. She has 16 caps and two goals. Ryan is a versatile forward who also won the NWSL Championship with the Portland Thorns in 2022."
"Sheehan is a box-to-box midfielder who started 25 games for the Dash last season, scoring once and adding two assists. The NWSL's primary transfer window closed on Monday, but intra-league trades can take place at any time up until the Oct. 8 roster freeze."
