Snyder, Allen, and Shanny are classier than that.

According to Mike, Cooley wanted to start and my guess is they released him so he could perhaps find a team on his own that he could start and contribute.

Cooley — the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions by a tight end — was released Tuesday by the team, in a move head coach Mike Shanahan said was meant to give the two-time Pro Bowl selection a better opportunity to start elsewhere.

You want to see crazy, check the Skins FB page. You would think somebody went door to door and killed everyone's dog.

Oh, it was meant in general, not so much here. Their FB page, ES, and others were much more adamant about keeping Cooley. Just thought it was appropriate..lol
