Pages : [1] 2 3 4 j_j__l 03-30-2006, 07:22 AM With 4.4 left in cap room this year...Does anyone think we should sign Cooley to an extension NOW???? He only has 2 years left on his contract, and we all know he will be dew some big money if he hits the FA, with the way EVERYONE in the league is using TE's more and more....I think if we waite another year his contract will only get larger and larger.... Luxorreb 03-30-2006, 07:36 AM I think they'll let it ride. I think Cooley is valuable to our team, but he is not above the team. Gibbs has put that back in perspective in the NFL and changed the way owners and coaches view individual players. Same goes for Andy Reid and John Gruden as well as league commish Paul Taligbue. That Guy 03-30-2006, 07:37 AM he already put up a 800 yard year, its not going to get any bigger next year, so we should go ahead and get another cheap season. dmek25 03-30-2006, 07:41 AM let him play out the contract and then an extension.of course with a signing bonus j_j__l 03-30-2006, 07:53 AM I know he's cheap...but I also think he's one of our CORE guys on O and WE shouldn't take the chance on loseing him.... dmek25 03-30-2006, 07:58 AM if he is a core guy,then why would he want to leave? j_j__l 03-30-2006, 08:16 AM EVERyone in this league wants their money...weither they're good guys or TO type guys....they all want what they think they are worth....that's just a FACT...him being a good guy, just means he would work witht he SKins on getting his worth.... That Guy 03-30-2006, 08:47 AM normally if you've got spare money you wait till the end of the season to throw it at someone's future earnings (you can only mess with contracts once a year i believe, so you have to careful not to pay foward a guy that might need to also restructure in the offseason). By waiting, you ensure a reserve in case you need to sign street free agents etc mid season. 724Skinsfan 03-30-2006, 09:34 AM As soon as Cooley puts up Gonzalez-type numbers then we can talk new contact. I believe Cooley is an outstanding player but he still needs to pay his dues before reaping the rewards. Also, with his developing star-power, I think he'll be content being a Redskin for a couple of more years. His performance on the field is definitely appreciated by the fans. I am sure he's learned that when contract talks come about that his agent is instructed to READ THE ENTIRE CONTRACT! MTK 03-30-2006, 09:40 AM His time will come. For now he's under contract, no need to panic.
