Chris Cooley Released

Everyone here has been pretty rational about it.

You want to see crazy, check the Skins FB page. You would think somebody went door to door and killed everyone's dog.

It sucks honestly but it's a business and CC has just not produced in a couple years. Still one of my al time fav skins

I'm 0/3 with personal jersey selections now that Portis/Taylor/Cooley are all gone.

I'm 2/5 when it comes to jersey's.

Video of him saying goodbye. Try not to cry. Boy do I wish they all felt this way about the team.

Ummm yeah...

If you're a Skins fan you should watch this. If you had any reason to not like to guy before I defy you to watch this and dislike him when it's over. Schneed's right..in a dream world they all care this much. 100% salute to a great Skin.

I'll still wear my Portis jersey on occasion too. Actually right now it's my only jersey but I'm not ashamed of wearing it...nor should you.

Both guys were Skins legends while they were here.

I'm afraid next year we'll be having this thread about Moss too. Maybe two years if he has a big season in 2012.

I was thinking the same thing. Actually I was thinking with all these wr's on the roster, does Moss stay? Is he in trouble this year?

I believe there is a future role within the organization

really hope he comes back on a smaller contract.

he was one hell of a model redskin

Cooley would, I think, do better in the studio on sports radio than as a color commentator in the booth

I think he would be better on the field insted of Randel El. Atleast he would know the players and be able to joke with them vs. Randel El being so removed from the team. Randel El should have been the sideline commentator for the Steelers. He knows them and the system.

You know I hate to say this, but I wonder how the salary cap penalty the Skins are under this year played into this. Cooley would have been an expensive back up yes, but are the Skins making room to make another move somewhere really soon? I mean yes, they featured Niles Paul in the preseason just to see what they have in him I'm sure, which is why the lack of passes to Davis doesn't bother me at all, but Cooley could have had a role this year as a FB/TE. Younger, faster, stronger is the mantra for this team.

Hmm...I think this might be the end, unfortunately. I couldn't see the Skins releasing a franchise, all-time great for salary reasons, then bringing him back on the cheap. I have to believe they would spare him the embarrassment if it came to that.

Snyder, Allen, and Shanny are classier than that.


According to Mike, Cooley wanted to start and my guess is they released him so he could perhaps find a team on his own that he could start and contribute.



Cooley — the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions by a tight end — was released Tuesday by the team, in a move head coach Mike Shanahan said was meant to give the two-time Pro Bowl selection a better opportunity to start elsewhere.

Oh, it was meant in general, not so much here. Their FB page, ES, and others were much more adamant about keeping Cooley. Just thought it was appropriate..lol
