It's the wording of the title that's misleading.

"Cooley: Burress could go from prison to Redskins' roster" implies that at some point Cooley said he wanted Burress on the team. He didn't. He said we needed a playmaker at wide receiver. Now even though the question was specifically about Plax, Cooley was actually careful to not say something that would basically be him endorsing Plax.

Saying "if you're going to take a risk on a good player, he'd be the player to take a risk on" is not the same as Cooley saying Plax could end up with the Redskins. At all.
