I love the dude, he is a great lockerrom guy and he does bleed Burgundy and Gold, but there's a time we have to say the guy is done as a Redskin. Bring him back as a coach, sure, no biggie, but right now there's more important needs for the team than to have a backup TE/FB.

I do agree we have other areas that currently appear to be in more need than TE/FB. However, Darrel Young has not been healthy, and I'm not quite convinced that the Niles Paul at TE experiment is going to work, so it's quite possible that the 'skins will need Cooley back at either the FB or TE position. I also believe that if Chris Cooley is done, then the 'skins front office and coaching staff wouldn't even entertain the idea of Cooley coming back in any shape or form, especially since his roster spot would mean having to let someone else go.
