I'm curious if they are trying to get COOLEY RE-SIGNED before camp?
 

Just curious, wonder where Chris is on the PRIORITY LIST?
I would think they would like to get his DEAL DONE.

Re: I'm curious if they are trying to get COOLEY RE-SIGNED before camp?
 

I'm sure they will as soon as his time comes. Right now we have free agency and the draft to worry about.

Re: I'm curious if they are trying to get COOLEY RE-SIGNED before camp?
 

There is no cap space to renew him right now. Let him play out on his rook contract at a cheap price an then re-sign for next year.

while i think cooley is a fine tight end, no way we should break the bank for him.

I think we need to come as close as possible. I bet when it's his time to renew, he'll be one of the top paid TE in the league.

In fact, if we had the room it would be smart to re-sign him sooner than later seeing how the market is rising year over year.

I think he's a premier TE in the league. I don't know about breaking the bank. But you can't let a player like CC get away.
You would probually break the bank to sign another TE with his talent level, to replace a guy like Chris.

Good point.. I would be REALLY surprised if we didn't try to extend his contract with us throughout the season..

Re: I'm curious if they are trying to get COOLEY RE-SIGNED before camp?
 

He is definitely someone we should approach mid season.

If we let him hit open waters we will pay through the nose or lose him.

Re: I'm curious if they are trying to get COOLEY RE-SIGNED before camp?
 

Cooley way 8th among TE in receptions, 7th in yards, and tied for 4th in TDs. I'd say he is going to want a big payday, but I don't think we will break the bank

Re: I'm curious if they are trying to get COOLEY RE-SIGNED before camp?
 

I see a bonus of $12mil + on the horizon if we want to keep him.

I agree. In my mind, Cooley needs to show us more before people here start getting their panties in a wad about him being signed to a long-term contract. If he tears it up this year and puts up the kind of numbers that warrant a nice, long-term contract, then fine. Sign him up.

Until then, he's just another tight end.

I think CLEARY COOLEY has showed us PLENTY!
If he doesn't deserve a LONG TERM contract on our team I don't know who does?
He's a definite keeper, young, good blocker and fine catcher, team guy & gets it done on the field. What more could you possibly ask for?

I didn't here anyone say anything about superstar?
But not sure what games you've been to and EVER seen COOLEY as an AVERAGE TE. That's crazy. I go to all home games and have never seen him play AVERAGE EVER!
This guy is a PROVEN PREMIER TE in the league and a leader for the SKINS.
