Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
No one wanted Portis's gigantic contract. He was practically untradable.

We would get no better than a 3rd for CC

Hence why I used "if" in the second sentence.

Captain Chaos will stay a skin if he wants. But anything is possible we've yet to talk with SMoss to renew his contract so who knows.

Gauging his value can never be a bad thing. Cooley is just one of those players we love to have around because of his production. I'd like to see him in B&G for the remainder of his career, unless I'm overwhelmed by an offer I can't refuse.

HELL YES!!!!! The Skins arent going anywhere with Cooley and if they can trade him for some nice picks then they should do it and build for the future.

This reminds me of the yearly "Let's release Rock Cartwright" thread. LOL.

Not going to happen. At best you may get a 3rd rounder for CC at this particular time. The guy has had a injury and he fumbles entirely too much. Chris Cooley - 7 seasons......11 fumbles Antonio Gates - 8 seasons ......3 fumbles Tony Gonzalez - 14 seasons......6 fumbles Dallas Clark - 8 seasons............5 fumbles Jason Witten - 8 seasons..........4 fumbles Vernon Davis - 5 seasons.........4 fumbles His fumbles dwarf those who are at the same position and have played longer. (some) Before some idiot comes back and says "those aren't fumbles lost", then realize that the act of recovering a fumble is pure luck. You don't judge a player on whether the fumble was lost or not, you judge him on the fumbles itself.

Fumbles aside he's still a top TE... a 1st and a 3rd is ridiculous though. I realize this is an old thread.

I honestly can't think of TE in the league right now who's worth a 1st and a 3rd.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Cooley is a good player that us Redskins fans tend to vastly overrate since we don't have many good players. I would love to trade Cooley for a draft pick. IMO we think Cooley is so valuable to us winning because for most of Cooleys time here we have had weak QB's that have leaned on the safe passes to the TE since they can't get the ball down the field to the WR's.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
I think if you took me back to before the 2010 offseason, and told me I could either trade Cooley for a 1st and 3rd round pick, or NOT trade a 2nd and 4th round pick for McNabb, I'd rather collect draft picks by having Cooley and not McNabb vs. having McNabb and not Cooley.
With that said, where this team is right now, a Cooley trade would now make sense. I don't think it did a year ago, but I'm tired of different offensive staffs failing miserably to use the best talent on the roster. Cooley's long been one of my favorite Redskins, but I'd rather deal him now vs watching another year of him and Davis being used sub-optimally.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
A year ago, I would have dealt a 1st and a 3rd for Gates. He was phenomenal this year, but he had that foot injury, and that risk would at least make me pull the 3rd rounder from the offer. So I agree.
