Chris Cooley Released

Sad to see him go and very classy of him to address the media and the fans afterwards. Class act. Hopefully he rejoins the organization in some fashion soon.

Its tough to cut a fan favorite, there was never going to be a good time to cut Cooley. Period. Most people cant see that because they are a fan, but this is a business and Cooley was never going to be a part of this rebuilding process. When RG3 is ready in a couple of years to take this team to the next level, Cooley was not part of the plan. The same could be said for Santana Moss....if we could find a younger slot guy??? Who knows???

He is a class act, and one of my favorites, but its time to move forward.

The guy produced and that is the bottome line. RG III looks like the real deal, but isn't as stellar as the hype machine tried to make him out to be. It will be real interesting to see how both him and Luck do when the games are real and not just talent evaluations. I think they will be fine. I just hope Robert can find the long ball more oft than not.

Don't get my disappointment in seeing him go mixed with my understanding of the busines side of football and where this team is going. It is fully understandable as to why they cut him loose. I said as much a couple of days ago when you look at our cap penalty and how much we are paying TEs.
