Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?

Paintrain · 10-17-2009, 01:16 PM

If someone was dumb enough to offer us that, uh, HELL YEAH! In a heartbeat you make that trade.

Love Cooley, LOVE him, but I love the Redskins more and if they could improve for the long term you have to take that offer.

Yeah Pain is right aside from personal feelings about Cooley this would be a good move.

EXACTLY......I'd give his ass up for a lot less then that.

You'd be stupid to turn this down but it would depend on the cap hit.

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.

Tony Gonzalez wanted to leave KC, Winslow and Braylon Edwards wanted to leave Cleveland, and I don't know if Shockey wanted to leave NYG, but they weren't in good terms. Cooley doesn't want to leave Washington and we have a good coaching staff that can do a good job with two pass-catching tightends.

Absolutely not. Then what, stuck with Fred Davis and Yoder?

You have to replace him with something. He's not only our Pro-Bowl TE, but a premier WR.

To bad we don't have something in Davis of worth so we could send him packing. It appears that #2 pick is a useless tit.

How do you know if Fred Davis is any good or not? You can't judge him by the limited playing time he has received. With 2 first rounders, a second, and a third. You could fix our Oline and some other needs pretty quickly.

Pretty simple. I've been watching him the last year and a half!

You can't judge him in the limited role that he has been playing.

During Gibbs 1.0, there wasn't a pass receiving tight end on the level of Cooley. Those offenses did okay. While guys like Cooley are nice to have, they aren't necessarily a must for prolific offenses.

I guess it would depend on what type of offense you bring in. If we go with another coach who's a West Coast guy, you'd have to find a capable replacement. But again, going with the premise of the original question, if you're on your way to building a solid offensive line that can give your QB plenty of time, and pave the way for bruising running game, it wouldn't be that hard to find a tight end that could get the job done.

Correct, Cooley is a luxury. We can't run the ball and we can't stop the run, so until we fix that we don't have much hope of being a contender.

If we could get a 1st and 3rd for Cooley, and use our top picks for OL then I would do it. Problem is, we probably can't get that for Cooley.

cdskins26 · 01-09-2010, 11:01 AM

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.
