Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?

Now if you say we should Carlos Roger, Santana Moss or Laron Landry....then we're talking. But Cooley? Hell no.

Teams who are rebuilding traditionally trade their top end talent.

What use is Cooley's Pro Bowl talents if we're just going to languish the next two years or so.

Rebuilding teams need to get where they are going in a hurry and they do that on the foundation of high draft picks. Tony Gonzalez has done much more at TE in this league than Cooley and he was traded from a rebuilding team to the Falcons. If he can get traded then Cooley certainly can.
