Well daly let me tell you something. I was very lucky to play golf with CC 2 weeks ago.

HIS EXACT WORDS AND I QUOTE, "THE SKINS WANT TO PAY ME LIKE AN AVERAGE TIGHT END"!

Now that's NOT Joe or Al words. THAT WAS CC EXACT WORDS!

SO IS HE STILL AN H-BACK IN YOUR MIND.....?

John Daly's response: Yes

Just b/c the skins want to pay him like an average TE, does that have to make him one? What other points of reference would they have to go off of if they wanted to pay him like an H-back?

Maybe Cooley could be best described as a hybrid, or "slash" a rare combimation of HB/FB/TE. He has served in various capacities since being with the team, to label him as one or the other would be a slight to his true skills.

He is a unique player. He has the size of a tight end, the route running and hands of a wide-receiver, and he runs like John Riggins. I do think that his role changed last year,though. He spent much less time around the line of scrimmage. I think they should use him in as many ways as they can.

Agree with you 100% on that.

Given his unique skills and the booming contracts, is it reasonable to expect Cooley to sign a new record contract for a TE? How much would this be? and would the Redskins pay it?
