Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?

Cooley and Rock are not the same situation.

And nobody is chanting. Makes me think we've got some sort of monastery here.

You beat me to the punch. Before even considering trading either Cooley or Davis, why not see what they can do on the field together next year. Our passing attack may well be devastating if we upgrade the O-line.

Full time 2 TE sets with two pass catchers do not work in the NFL. If you have two really good TE's the best thing to do is trade one.

I would trade cooley for a #1 in a second and I would consider trading him for a #2. 1st & 3rd is a pipedream.make that half a second, and you're exactly right about the 1st & 3rd.

If we keep Cooley and Davis, I wonder if we will move Davis outside a lot to play a Dallas Clark-type role. He's certainly got the speed to play like a slow wideout.

Cooley and Rock are not the same situation.

No, but they are both situations where we have younger guys making the case that they may deserve to be higher on the depth chart, thereby making us question whether we need the veterans (rock and cooley) on the roster at all. Cooley would definitely garner noteable compensation. Rock might get us a conditional ham sandwich in 2017.

To me though, as big a reason for looking to move Cooley as Davis' improved play is Cooley's trade value. Of which Rock has none

i agree, imagine Davis in the slot... That would be a nightmare match up for a corner.

I dont think Cooley is going anywhere because of the cap hit. But if there is no cap......

A team wouldn't trade us club level tickets for Rock.

Trading Cooley is possibly an option because he is a pro-bowler but I would have to see a pretty attractive 2nd round player to justify getting rid of a stud.

I would trade Cooley right now for a second round pick. I think he's a great guy and a player. Davis will be just as good or better than Cooley. We don't need to great TE. Right now, we need draft picks. I don't see any other player on this team that's attractive enough for team to trade away a pick to acquire. If someone makes us an offer, I say make the trade.
