Good luck with that happening.

If we can't get a 3rd rounder for him then I would opt to keep him. No sense in letting him walk without a decent compensation similar to what the Bears got for Greg Olsen. Cooley can still be productive for 3 to 4 more years.

Well, then how do we explain the last three years?

I guess you are forgetting that he had 77 receptions for almost 900 yards last year, and that was the year he really picked up on his blocking.

All that while giving Fred Davis some playing time, cause you all know we didnt run any two TE sets last year, lol.

In short, he is a valuable commodity, definitely worth a 3rd rounder to some team, possibly a 3rd and 4th. I still think we should keep him though.

Chris Cooley is not that valuable, not with the TE market being flooded with an influx of athletic TEs that can "do everything". Over 20 teams have an athletic TE worth their salt.

I grew negative on Cooley before most people did. In the beginning he was a difference maker -- a decent touchdown threat. But after a while, defenses started to figure him out and his scoring ability fell off the map at a time when we needed it most.

Hell of a possession receiver, no doubt, but not a scoring threat. I'd be stunned if we get a 3rd rounder for him.

Oh, you meant that kind of productive. Well, yeah, he can probably bounce back to those levels.

He's got pretty much no chance of being the pro bowl level player he was in 2006-2008 though.
