Chris Cooley is nothing more than a 4th rounder, huh? Wow. Fail.

We traded up to draft Cooley and we just gave him a new contract , so Cooley is not getting traded. Davis has shown he can play in this league and I think he will push Cooley even more to come back better than ever. We need both of them to make our team better. So no dont trade Cooley.

I agree with this. Keeping Cooley is a much better option then picking up some one in the draft that you have no idea if he is good, great, or very fucking bad.

I don' want to trade Cooley but if there's someone I would trade for, it would be Cribbs and converting him to RB.

Under the old Browns management, we could have gotten him for a cheese sandwich. Now, they may actually want picks and stuff. While he'll be helluva player, I think you'd need to give up too much and not be able to address other more important issues...like the offensive line.

The production we get out of Cooley i don't think it would match what Cribbs could do for us on a value standpoint to be a straight up trade.

He's a great special teams player, but I think we would be better off trading Cooley for a pick. We would be much better off developing a young guy. Plus it would be a lot cheaper.

How long has Cribbs been in the league? Will he become a RFA or UFA?

He'll be a UFA...when his contract expires in 2013.

thanks i just read the article on ESPN. His contract is terrible! He is by far the best player on that team getting paid the least!

But there are 3 years remaining. I can see where the browns are coming from. Yes, he's been a great returner but he just started playing a lot of downs on o this year. If he played another year & put up decent #s he would be in a better bargaining position. I think he's trying to renegotiate too soon. The browns can ask a lot for him or just let him sit out.

When this thread was first started we hadn't had a chance to see what we had in Fred Davis. If the team is convinced Davis can improve on his development, a 1st & 3rd for Cooley where do I sign?

I never thought i'd be saying this cuz Cooley embodies everything that I like about the Redskins, but in the end its a business and HELL YEA i'd trade him for a 1st and 3rd. After seeing how Davis played in his absence, the dropoff from him to Cooley is easily worth a 1st and 3rd rounder. Anyone who disagrees is just thinking with their heart and not their brain. It's a moot point cuz it'll never happen.

Exactly, which is why I think this needs to be dropped. I'm sure the team will discuss this and shop him quietly, but I just don't see how the team could be better by trading Cooley. Kellen Winslow and Jeremy Shockey wanted to get out of their respective teams or were unhappy with them.

I don't think we'll get a 1st for Cooley, unless there's a team desperate for him. Cleveland got a 2nd and a 5th (2010) for Winslow, and the Giants got a 2nd and 4th for Shockey. The most we'd get for Cooley would be a 2nd and another pick.
