Now, just how cooperative would you expect him to be under those circumstances? The correct answer is NOT AT ALL !!
Why would I think that is even possibly the case? Hmmm... Lavar Arrington and his agent thought they had one deal and all of a sudden they had a different deal. Steve Spurrier thought he would be working with an experienced NFL GM here but suddenly it turned out to be the Vinny and Danny show. Maybe Joe Crisp can explain to all of us the sudden and sort-of mysterious circumstances under which the former Skins' director of PR left the team last summer...
I don't KNOW - and neither does anyone else here KNOW - what transpired among Coles and his agent and Gibbs and Snyder in all of this, but if Coles and his agent even begin to believe that the Redskins are trying to double cross them on a deal they struck, then I'm not at all surprised to see how he is behaving. And if it continues on, don't expect him to do anything more than show up when he has to show up in order to collect his $5M roster bonus. And come training camp, I'm thinking there will be a recurrence of the toe injury early on...

And he faults the Skins for trying to get something in return for what he cost the team to bring here both draft pick wise and in salary? He didn't like the way things went last year and now wants money he doesn't deserve from us plus more money from his next team? I say tough sh*!. He signed a legally binding contract and I'm pretty sure there's no hidden text in the contract saying he can quit the team when he doesn't like how the offense is playing. I had mad respect for what he left on the field game in and game out as a Redskin, but I have lost all said respect for him as a man after him acting like a little punk cuz he's not getting enough of the types of passes he likes. Every single person, fans, players, coaches, and owners, associated with the Redskins is frustrated right now but I don't see any other key components of the team wanting to take their ball and go home. I can understand a hard working underpaid player wanting a pay raise when their contract doesn't meet the levels of the production the player brings to a team, but this sure as hell ain't one of those times.
