Other than Portis at times, CC and Moss have been the only "franchise name" players we've had. We at least owe it to him to let him finish his contract out here. When Santanna was dropping passes, and we didn't have anyone else, he was the ONLY spark we had at times. Keep him for this year, and if he has a monster year, bring this thread backup. Trading him now, with little or no value would be crazy, and probably have huge effects on the locker room.

Fred is ballin apparently

Im down to trade cc. Been ready for the last few seasons. Sell high buy low.

how about this crazy idea .... work Cooley & Davis into the fold .... wow what an idea ... you would really give up on Cooley for a late round pick ? Give me a break, that guy has been nothing but a true Redskins through and through .... i like the chemistry of this team and I think bringing back Moss and keeping Cooley are wise moves .... this league is about DEPTH plain and simple ... if we have to pay Davis bank then WE will, if you haven't noticed we are way under the cap and can def do that next year ... relax .. they will both shine

I'd prefer to lose him before he turns bad then keep him after he is past his prime. Championship teams have a tendency to have that mentality, and I like to copy winners. Might as well get something in return while we still can (if we still can).
But I think that someone will pay for Davis to start. Davis will not stick around if Cooley is still here. I'm sure he is not content playing second fiddle. I think it's cooley or davis next year, both isnt an option we can take. I choose davis.

you do realize there has been one game of PRESEASON football played thus far and you are saying cooley is done and davis is our starter and we must trade cooley and go with fred davis next year. as long as i haven't missed anything there was only one preseason game thus far, so let's take a second pump the breaks and relax. lets atleast wait until mid season before we have the cooley/davis bs going on yet again. if this happens to come up further down the road then lets talk about it but for christ sake we are dicussing trading cooley after one preseason game he didn't play in.

No, were discussing who we'd rather have next year when we have to choose between the two. If Cooley were healthy it would still be an issue: we can only keep one of them and cooley is older, less talented, and unfortunately becoming injury prone. Going Davis over Cooley in 2012 is a no-brainer.

again only one preseason game so far and your set with davis as our starter for next year already? and it's a no brainer? seriously pump the breaks man why don't we atleast see what happens in the first half of this year, who knows if davis even stays healthy. chosing our starters for next year before this season has even started is extremly mind bottling

IMO how well they do this year is irreverent. Cooley is better than Davis now, and probably will be next year too. I'm saying that I do not believe we will be able to keep both, and even though he probably wont be AS good as Cooley in the short run, for longevity purposes keeping Davis over Cooley will be the right move. It's not really an "if" this happens question, its more of a "when" this happens question.

that's fine for next year ... don't get me wrong I think Fred Davis is a BEAST but don't underestimate Cooley's character ... if he's banged up all year maybe he doesn't mind a little second fiddle action a la Olson & Shockey down in Carolina

No doubt this thread is junk, you guys are bored already?
Its almost freakin September.

You don't keep 2 starters at the same position on your team. It serves no purpose. It's all about acquiring resources and other needs for the surplus you have. The good teams do it, bad ones do not. Buy low, sell high.

Unless you have salary cap issues having two starters in one position is like having a full bag of Skittles and a full bag of Jumior Mints at the same time. You will find a way to use both and you will be damn glad you did.

(and yes I realize Junior Mints come in a box)

Why on earth would Davis resign here to play second fiddle to Cooley when he'd be starting on any other team?
