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

Smart one, maybe you should be our GM, you have some real bright ideas.......get rid of our best player. This season is having some real down effects on you.

Throw in Betts in the package (a token of appreciation) just for the Heck of it.

I like the sound of that

I'll give you my Cooley when you take him from my cold, dead hands!!!!!

now doughty and horton?

I didn't mean to trade them both.. I'm just saying that we should try and see what their value is.. If we could get like 2nd or 3rd rd for one of them, we probably should go ahead and take it.. We could use the pick to draft OT or C..

Why a 1st and a 3rd? It's totally arbitrary. We can't trade him to ourselves, so aside from the Skins, the only teams stupid enough to trade a 1st and 3rd for a TE are Dallas and Oakland.

If someone offered that much I'd certainly take it, but it's not ever going to happen so it seems like a wasted discussion. Especially with how enamored Danny and Vinny are with skill players. This line of thinking (trading good vets for multiple picks) is the exact opposite of the way we do business unfortunately.

would totally do it...goodbye, show your penis in blogs to the texans or wherever you go..love the guy, but we need the picks

wow alot of fred davis doubters i see, its cool u havent even seen what he can do - when used properly youll see

Considering that the current cap situation wouldn't allow this until after the season, I would at least consider Cooley for a first and a third at that point. I'm just not sure that price is high enough.

Theoretically, we're getting more than reasonable value for a pro bowl Tight End, but anecdotally seen this type of trade backfire too often to feel comfortable about it. Secondly, any team crazy enough to offer a first and third for a tight end at his developmental prime must be crazy enough to think that we're not using Cooley in an optimal manner. You'd have to at least lend credence to the thought that we could keep him and get more out of him.

So honestly, I don't know how much those two picks would help the rebuilding effort. I'm not a big fan of trading players who have value to the organization for draft choices. I prefer to trade draft choices that have value-added for other draft choices, and to trade players who lack a lot of value to the organization for draft picks.

So while it's definately tempting, I'd say no to Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd. If I could get a first and a second or two firsts though, I'd probably not be able to resist, even given my fears.

Hi Fred, is that you? Maybe catch the ball when thrown to you. Then we all can see what you can do.

Thanks

We'll see. Did he run hurdles at USC? You can't predict his future anymore than any of us, hopefully he works out and we utilize him well in that regard, but who knows. Don't sound ignorant throwing the word "haters" around, that's for ghetto TV rappers and corner hustlers, not professional athletes.
