Are you using high first round contracts in that analysis? No one is giving us a high first rounder for him. I think somewhere in the second round is the most likely scenario. No second rounder is getting Cooley money (or even late first rounder). |

He was nowhere near as productive as Cooley and missed a lot of playing time due to motorcycle accident and then a staph infection.

Regardless, he was still seen as one of the better players at his position.

That is key to me. We shouldn't trade Cooley "just" to get a pick. There needs to be a solid player in mind who we'd select with the pick(s) we received as compensation. Now, if we get a 1st rounder, we'd be sure to find someone we needed. However, if the compensation is something like a 2nd and a 3rd, i'd hope we would have preliminary talks with a few teams, but only execute the trade of the player we coveted was there when the pick came up.

For a 2nd rounder no. For a 1st and a 3rd, you'd be stupid not to consider it.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
it would be a good trade, but there might be a lot of backlash in the organization, getting rid of a guy like cooley. no loyalty.

It would be hard to refuse a 1st and 3rd, but at the same time I think it's kind of moot to argue. I don't have stats in front of me, but when do teams trade a 1st and 3rd for a TE? Yeah, Fred Davis has had a few solid games, and looks like he'll be very good. But we don't know what we're going to have going on with WRs next year. Tana and El could be gone. Kelly and Thomas are still largely unproven (although I think we've got something with DT). Let's keep two very good TE's for at least one more year. It can only help the passing game.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
i'd much rather see us using davis and cooley at the same time ... davis can easily split out wide or line up in the slot...
theres no need to get RID of an offensive weapon... having both these guys on the field, and Tood Yoder(who catches the hell out of passes and blocks well) to spell them is a dengerous, dangerous recipie at TE next year. no way u trade a guy like cooley. no loyalty as said above.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
davis was recruited by USC as a wide receiver and then converted to a tight end, he was one of the top ones in the country. im sure he could line up in the slot, and im sure hes had plenty of experience with that.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
with the way fred davis is playing right now....still no lol Cooley's too good to trade away and I want to make sure Davis isn't a one hit wonder, technically he's only really played well the last 5 games or so...wait and see

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
We would have one of the best red zone offenses when Cooley comes back, assuming of course that Sherm stays. If they would play Marko Mitchell then our red zone offense would be scary. People keep talking about Davis, and they rightfully should, but they forget that during Sherm's first game against the Eagles on MNF Cooley was poised for a big game. I think that it's in our best interest to find a way to make the 2 TE offense work.
On top of I think people are also forgetting the fact that if a CBA goes through Cooley will count $4 million against the cap if he's traded. Plus even if we were offered a 1st and 3rd there is no way I would want to accept it if Vinny was calling the shots. God knows what those picks would turn into, maybe a Safety or QB.
