So he goes from prison straight to NFL hell... His crime wasn't that bad.

I'm not one to lead a Plax campaign, but people were saying the same things about a certain QB a little while back.

I was talking about Pennington's plan to take a year off, not Plax.

1. Washington Redskins: Owner Dan Snyder gave defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and cornerback DeAngelo Hall around $36 million in bonus money in 2010 to free up room to be a big spender in free agency in 2011. Snyder and Mike Shanahan will have to be creative in how they structure contracts, because the $120 million cap would give them only around $10 million of cap room. On the positive side, the Redskins' current payroll is $75.7 million, meaning Snyder would have to spend close to $45 million in cash to meet the potential minimum floor requirements. Imagine a system that forces Snyder to spend.

Hello Jenkins, Franklin, and Joesph.

This article title misconstrues what Cooley says so bad. Cooley says, and I quote, "If you were going to take a risk on a guy that's a good player, he's probably the guy you're going to take a risk on."

He follows that up by saying, "He'll probably step in a locker room, keep his mouth shut, work hard and try to earn his way back into the league the first season,"

Cooley does not say he thinks the Redskins are going after him. He only states that someone would most likely take a shot with him over someone like T.O. or Ochocinco. Terrible title for this article.

Yeah, exactly. I kept seeing that Cooley said Burress would be a fit, but no where does he ever say that.

Redskins misquoted in the press? Nooo...

SmootSmack · 06-26-2011, 06:06 PM

Title says he could go to Redskins, and article says Cooley thinks they need a big time receiver and Plax is someone who could do well. That's all, we're the only ones making the assumption the Redskins are going after Plax, and that somehow CC is confirming it

NYCskinfan82 · 06-26-2011, 07:29 PM

Just like we are looking for stories so are they looking for stories, nobody ever checks these writers they can misquote whoever and get away with it.

SmootSmack · 06-26-2011, 07:36 PM

What exactly was misquoted?

NYCskinfan82 · 06-26-2011, 07:43 PM

I beleive i was watching the NFL total access I forget who they were interviewing, they asked the player about such & such player he stated he was a good player could help his team. A few hours later he was quoted on several news stations that the player wanted such & such on his team. I might still have the show I DVR them I'll get back to you if I can get more precise.

NLC1054 · 06-26-2011, 08:05 PM

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.

Well, if this is true don't expect to see TO signing with anyone anytime soon.
