As for keeping Davis & Cooley, from my understanding of Cooley's deal it was fairly cap friendly. I'll defer to the experts here on that, but keeping both would be good for the team. I see Davis becoming the main recieving target of the two & Cooley becoming the blocking TE that catches a no. of passes near the line.

Cooley really improved his blocking last year IMO & he has more value to the Skins than he will elsewhere. I think he's enough of a team guy that he would play in a reduced role rather than walk out of pride. He seems like he'd be likely to restructure to stay as well.
I don't believe we should give Landry a "Polamalu contract" until he proves that he can stay healthy. The fact that his Achilles didn't heal during the longer offseason is very troubling.

As for Davis, I have been a harsh critic of Vinny for drafting him, but from all reports, Davis looks like he's ready to break out. As great as Cooley is when healthy, Davis may have an even higher upside. I say sign him before he can hit the open market.
