Had someone made him a real offer, he would have signed. Bank on it.

This loyalty thing is way over rated when compared to cash on the kitchen table.

“I’ve had offers,” he said. “I said to my agent, ‘You know what I want. And you don’t need to call me if it’s not something I want.’ I don’t have that much interest in the interest there is in me so far. If I could go somewhere and start, I’d probably do that. That’d be fun.”

Granted my memory was wrong, sort of. He said that he would consider it if a team offered him a starting position, but if it is not the case then he would not. While Redskins offered him a spot as back-up, he took it immediately. Which says something about loyalty, something that you thought it to be overrated. Although it might be overrated for almost all cases, but I think it's pretty obvious that Cooley really loves Redskins.

Cooley says he thinks it would take a significant injury for the Redskins to re-sign him
