More likely the # situation because he was a TE in college.

Had to look it up because I had never seen a college picture of Cooley.

10-19 was opened to all wrs in 2004 (before 2004 they could only wear 10-19 if 80-89 were taken). tes still go by the similar pre-2004 practice (can't wear 40-49 unless 80-89 are taken)

cooley wore #47 because he was technically an H-back. in college he was a b-back (a fullback that went out to catch passes pretty much 100% of the time). he had rediculous numbers in college.

Yep Torrence cut to make room for CB Morgan Trent, been in the league for a hot minute. Been with the Bengals and Jaguars.

Now, it appears that the Redskins may go after another Buccaneers defensive back. Buccaneers101.com has learned from a league source that the Redskins are interested in acquiring cornerback Aqib Talib. The source told Buccaneers101.com that Washington has explored the idea of trading for Talib but is waiting for the outcome of Talib's upcoming trial to see whether or not he will face jail time or suspension from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Not sure about him. On one hand he's talented and personally I liked him a good bit when he came out in 2008, and anyone that knows how much I hate corners understands how high of a compliment that is.

On the other hand we already went through the Haynesworth debacle and I don't necessarily see this guy having a Sean Taylor like turnaround as Sean was always a good guy at heart. Talib just seems self-centered and trigger happy in more ways then one.

I mean the team has worked this hard to turn around the culture that weeds out selfish players so I don't know why they would want to risk that at this point.

If he comes in humble with his head down and his mouth shut he will be a fantastic addition. However if he comes in as the same loud mouth trouble maker then it will be a disaster. Would at the very least need him to play for a below market team friendly contract to help keep him in line.

Very good man to man corner. Finds the ball well.

Only because receivers are worried about a warning shot across the face.

This team likes to talk about bringing in character guys that fit what we're trying to do here, and yet we hear things like this in the media? Something's not adding up, the last thing I want is another talented egomaniac who's always stirring shit up and making us look bad.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

depends on what we give up

[REDSKINS4ever]

Talib is worth maybe a 3rd or 4th round draft choice. The thing is he has 17 interceptions in four seasons which is highly impressive.

[ethat001]

An intriguing player -- great talent, very young. Has not finished the last two seasons due to injury, but would expect him to be okay physically going forward. It would be nice to have that talent on our roster, and with him our secondary would immediately be much stronger.

The character issues -- you'd expect Raheem Morris to have the inside info on that, and he believes in him, I'd be willing to take a chance for a later draft pick & contract which protects us against his problems off the field.

Problem players are not good for the locker room, but if the rest of the locker room is supportive, one or two players may not be toxic. I'd hope.
