Chris Cooley Released

Lol, well might as well. People have been clamoring for various players to be moved around to different positions for years. Laron to LB, Hall to FS, Paul to TE, Alexander to everything. Why stop now?

Sav Rocca, longsnapper.

Alexander can punt.

Couldn't tell which announcer said we'll talk to Cooley this week but I'd be for it. He's still faster than Paulsen and rumbles down the field after contact just as well. Paul may not be ready for reg season action at TE either. However, who gets the boot if they re-sign Cooley? We have a pretty solid roster and don't want to lose the talent already there...

We need a back up DB now along with a long snapper. I love Cooley, but I am not sure we really need him anymore. Davis was fine, and Paulson came up big, even if it was just one catch.

Both of those guys are not going to be taking a Roster spot, that isn't being vacated by the injured player.

IMO they can find an extra roster spot at QB3 ;)

Cut Rex. Re-sign Crompton to PS..roster problems solved.

If Crompton is no longer eligible, just find someone who is.

***Just heard a rumor that Grossman is to be cut and Cooley to be re-signed.***

At this point, it's just a rumor. Can not verify.

Its a good move. Cooley could play QB in a pinch if RGIII and Cousins went down (i'm just saying, he's Chris effing Cooley).

its not like Grossman is going to get any interest on the open market. If RGIII and Cousins were going to miss games, i'm sure we could just pick him right back up.

There was a TV shot Sunday of RG3, Cousins, and Grossman and Grossman was in street clothes. I guess inactive. Cousins is the backup.

Yes, he was inactive. I think that said Cousins has the confidence with the coaches that he'd be ready to step in. From what we saw in the preseason, Rex had one diaster of a game and one decent game. Cousins was consistently better than him.

This makes Rex expendable and his role of "veteran mentor" unnecessary. We can clearly see that Griffin needs no tutoring from him. Also, if Griffin DOES get hurt, Cousins is more mobile than Grossman and there would be less of a change in schemes that could be run.

I hope this rumor is true.

Right now, we have a backfield of Morris/Helu/Royster and Banks sporadically as a gadget play at HB with only Young at FB. Having Cooley available for FB would be valuable.

If you bring Cooley back... cut Banks.

In other Cooley news it came out that he and Christy filed for divorce in late August and had been separated since January. Apparently it was an amicable part without the need for the court system.
