Chris Cooley Released

skinsfan69 · 08-28-2012, 03:28 PM

I think we all saw this day coming. It really sucks to see him go. Looking at Cooley on the field, I don't think he can run like he use to. Obvioulsy they like what they see in Paulsen and Paul.

Well, I admit the Cooley Reebok jersey for 19.95 that I got Saturday might not have the same luster, but that's not going to stop me from wearing it. Glad he got a catch and I got to yell Coooooooley once more, but I guess his time had come. What does it say that he was on our 1's through preseason though? I don't see any other TE coming close to him as a 3rd down goto guy. Guess that becomes Garcon.

Nothing. Says that Young was hurt and Fred Davis wasn't used much

Video of him saying goodbye. Try not to cry. Boy do I wish they all felt this way about the team.

Should we turn this into a Chris Cooley appreciation thread? (I guess it sort of has become that.)

I'll still wear my Portis jersey on occasion too. Actually right now it's my only jersey but I'm not ashamed of wearing it...nor should you.

Both guys were Skins legends while they were here.

I'm afraid next year we'll be having this thread about Moss too. Maybe two years if he has a big season in 2012.

I knew this day was coming but I wasn't looking forward to it all the same. I really wish him the best of luck at wherever his life takes him next, whether it be into media, or with another team. One of my all-time favorite Redskins. Thank you for sacrificing everything to be successful on the field.

Just occurred to me Sanatana Moss is one of the last Skins from the Portis, Taylor, Cooley era.

It feels like when you have to put a dog down. You know it must be done but it definitely doesn't feel good.

Best of luck to you, CC.

I bought one of the jersey's myself at TC and I will wear it with pride. CC great team guy good TE, shall be missed. CC should work the sidelines not Randel IMO CC is a TRUE SKIN.

I'm 0/3 with personal jersey selections now that Portis/Taylor/Cooley are all gone.

CC was a good player on some terrible teams. I'm sad to see him go but his time had come.
