Professional career

FC Dallas

Cannon left college and signed a homegrown player contract with FC Dallas on December 22, 2016. He was the 18th homegrown player in Dallas's history. On June 14, 2017, he made his professional debut when he started in a 2–1 win over Tulsa Roughnecks in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Cannon made his MLS debut for the club on September 2, in a 2–2 tie at home to the New York Red Bulls, as an added-time substitute for Michael Barrios. In the 2018 season, Cannon cemented his place as a regular starter for the team. He made his first start for the team in their first game of the season, a 1–1 tie at home to Real Salt Lake on March 4. He totalled 34 appearances, and scored once to open a 2–2 tie against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at the Toyota Stadium on May 19. Cannon played 29 games for Dallas in the 2019 season. He scored two goals for the team, a career high for the defender. Amidst transfer speculation, Cannon signed a new, four-year contract with a team option with the team in March 2020. He started the first two games of the season before the league went on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His team did not take part in the subsequent season restart, MLS is Back Tournament, being forced to withdraw after ten players and one staff member tested positive for coronavirus.

Cannon faced strong competition at right-back from DeAndre Yedlin and Sergiño Dest. On June 6, 2021, he came on as a substitute for the former for the second half of extra time, as the United States defeated Mexico 3–2 in the CONCACAF Nations League final. Three days later, he scored his first senior international goal in a 4–0 friendly win over Costa Rica at the Rio Tinto Stadium.

Personal

Personal life

Cannon is the grandson of atmospheric scientist Dr. Warren Washington. His step-sister, Bianca Smith, is a professional baseball coach. Cannon married his wife, Kendall, in April 2020. On August 12, 2020, Cannon spoke out against Dallas fans for booing and throwing a bottle at the players before a 0–1 loss against Nashville SC because the players knelt during the national anthem in solidarity of the Black Lives Matter movement, calling the fans' actions "disgusting". He subsequently received racist comments and death threats. Cannon said that FC Dallas prepared an apology message for him to post to fans on social media, which he refused. He said in March 2021 that he had left the United States due to his safety being "compromised" since the kneeling.
