Because his knee MIGHT be like Lavar Arrington's knee that forced him to retire. If your knee swells and begins to hurt after one or two NFL games, you can not play in this league. I am not saying 100% that Cooley has this type of bad knee, but he has to prove he can stay some what healthy in order to take up millions of dollars in cap space.
I hope he recovers and is ready to play. When healthy he is a great player, but this is still a business, not a popularity contest.
