Cooley Comeback?

Is Chris Cooley eyeing a comeback? - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000502928/article/is-chris-cooley-eyeing-a-comeback)

TE is a weak area, you giving him a look?

At 33 definitely not.

No effing way.

No

He could still be on the short list of those I'd call if one of our guys went down with a season ender. But he wants to be wanted now, and I can't say I want to want him.

Agreed.

As a 3rd stringer you typically want that guy playing special teams and I don't see that with Cooley.

He was probably just thinking out loud anyway... he's got a good gig in the booth and besides, what athlete doesn't think they could still play? Just ask Favre.

And given that Reed and Niles have receiving as more their strength than blocking, you need the 3rd TE to be a good blocker at minimum. Paulsen is a toad but he at least fills that need.

Cooley would just be more of the same style of receiving TE threat. He wasn't bad as a blocker in his heyday but 33 is not his heyday.

I'm just not sure why a team would want to take a chance on a 33 year old that's slow and doesn't play teams. i mean, he's not going to stick around for a long time, and at best he could have what? 200 yards receiving? If I'm a team, I just don't see the upside.

While I agree, wouldnt it be great if Cooley cameback and dominated again?

It would give this franchise/fanbase a much needed lift.

:laughing2

Nobody wants a slow ass TE that doesn't play special teams or block efficiently. Probably just talk. Cooley is very good at the job he's currently doing and I'm glad he's found his niche after football.

Might as well wish for Riggo to come back.

A few weeks of camp would probably change Cooley's tune real quick.
