Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
But there are 3 years remaining. I can see where the browns are coming from. Yes, he's been a great returner but he just started playing a lot of downs on o this year. If he played another year & put up decent #s he would be in a better bargaining position. I think he's trying to renegotiate too soon. The browns can ask a lot for him or just let him sit out.

I don't think we'll get a 1st for Cooley, unless there's a team desperate for him. Cleveland got a 2nd and a 5th (2010) for Winslow, and the Giants got a 2nd and 4th for Shockey. The most we'd get for Cooley would be a 2nd and another pick.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
I would trade cooley for a 2nd round pick right now. This team has needs to fill and could use another draft pick much more then excess depth at the TE position. I have a feeling when the redskins call though it will be Davis the teams want and not Cooley.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Of course that would be the case for most teams, because Davis is 5 years younger and more athletic. That said, I still believe Cooley is the steadier player today, and probably has 3-4 solid years before he declines due to advancing age. If we can get a 2nd round pick for Cooley, we would have to consider that.

Cooley and Moss for Marshall and Scheffler plus a 4th rounder...

Stop trying to trade Chris Cooley!
And start trying to imagine how a top flight NFL mind will actually utilize our one area of strength on the offensive side of the ball. We have two dangerous tight ends. We just need to use them wisely. |

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
I agree that we shouldn't trade Cooley at all keep him & davis on the roster. The main thing I like about Shanny is he expressed that you base your plays and scheme around your players. We have two TE's that will cause multiple match up problems for defenses. We should keep that threat.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Completely agree with you on this. I doubt that this trade would be out there though. I don't think that they offered this much for Tony Gonzalez and he is generally thought of as the best TE in NFL history, granted at the end of his career. I would bet that if there were a second round pick, that would probably be Cooley's market value.

I can see Cooley being traded to Jets, since that's the team Snyder loves to trade with.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
I thing it depends on what is offered and what we would likely pick up with the pic/s . If we could get a 2nd and 4th , and then trade a 5th for scheffler < Denver > , that would make sense . I would like to keep Cooley and Davis , more formations that our opp's have to practice for .

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
I would do that immediately but nobody else would. Last year the patriots got a second roun pick for a potential franchise quarterback. We would be lucky to get the same although if we can actually get somebody to bite on a late first early second I would be happy to risk Davis doesn't make progress and then get our quarterback then.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
I would not want to trade Cooley for two reasons...first and foremost the guy is hardworking, doesn't cause problems, and plays well, the kind of guy we could use 53 of. Secondly, it would be nice to have two semi-proven pass catchers on the team in him and Davis who at least give us a semblance of a receiving corps. Until Moss shows his old self or Thomas/Kelly develops, I don't want to give up Cooley

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Didn't read any of this..responding to title.
Of course we should do a trade like this...however, anyone willing to pay a 1st and 3rd for Cooley is a non-existant fool. I'd take a first for him...I seriously doubt we could get that...so I'd hold onto him
