Moss - Above average, not great hands, average at best route runner, doesn't give full effort 100% of the time, not a #1 caliber receiver, maybe a year or two (at best) left.

Cooley - Pro Bowl caliber TE, Davis better physically than Cooley and productive this year. Two high quality TEs are a nice to have, but with the holes on the OL, if Cooley could be dealt for a 2nd rounder to pick up an OL starter it's a good move.

Landry - physically gifted, questions about his mental approach and work ethic. If a good trade scenario is offered it can't hurt to consider.

I think you need to keep Cooley for one more year to see if Davis is the real thing before you think about moving him. I wouldn't gamble on giving away one of our best offensive weapons just because Davis had a couple of good games.

Now with Moss, I don't know how realistic it would be to trade him. But I just feel we could con a team like the Bears into a 4th rounder for him. Some might say, well you would be getting rid of your "#1" WR or getting rid of a veteran WR...but I just feel that he hasn't been much of an impact in the past two season.

Landry is the typical example of a talented player that you could part ways with (for good compensation) because you have a good replacement (Horton...even Doughty) and is a player that has had his issues in here (attitude, poor play, etc., etc.).

Other than these guys, Rogers would be a good option to trade. He could be valuable to another team, and we could use the picks (especially with Dunta Robinson out there available). I also feel that we have young CBs (Barnes, Tryon) that could eventually step up (or we could draft more DBs later on).
