was he able to wear #47 because he was gibbler's h-back or because 80-89 were not available?
More likely the # situation because he was a TE in college.
Had to look it up because I had never seen a college picture of Cooley.

More likely the # situation because he was a TE in college.10-19 was opened to all wrs in 2004 (before 2004 they could only wear 10-19 if 80-89 were taken). tes still go by the similar pre-2004 practice (can't wear 40-49 unless 80-89 are taken)

cooley wore #47 because he was technically an H-back. in college he was a b-back (a fullback that went out to catch passes pretty much 100% of the time). he had rediculous numbers in college.

Now, it appears that the Redskins may go after another Buccaneers defensive back. Buccaneers101.com has learned from a league source that the Redskins are interested in acquiring cornerback Aqib Talib. The source told Buccaneers101.com that Washington has explored the idea of trading for Talib but is waiting for the outcome of Talib's upcoming trial to see whether or not he will face jail time or suspension from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Not sure about him. On one hand he's talented and personally I liked him a good bit when he came out in 2008, and anyone that knows how much I hate corners understands how high of a compliment that is.
On the other hand we already went through the Haynesworth debacle and I don't necessarily see this guy having a Sean Taylor like turnaround as Sean was always a good guy at heart. Talib just seems self-centered and trigger happy in more ways then one.
I mean the team has worked this hard to turn around the culture that weeds out selfish players so I don't know why they would want to risk that at this point.
If he comes in humble with his head down and his mouth shut he will be a fantastic addition. However if he comes in as the same loud mouth trouble maker then it will be a disaster. Would at the very least need him to play for a below market team friendly contract to help keep him in line.
