Oh, he'll probably come to an NFC East team and become a beast. As is our luck every goddamn year.

Re: Tony Gonzalez to be a free agent this offseason

The guy has a few years left. But Cooley is just getting started. I really don’t think the front office would be that stupid. By the way which players are going to be free agents on the Redskins this off-season?

Re: Tony Gonzalez to be a free agent this offseason

I'd say the problem lies that Cooley is stuck in pass protection too often. Getitng Gonzalez would give you a receiving TE while keeping one in to protect, but it is still wasted talent. The cheapest and easiest way to run this 2 TE set is to just simply use get a blocking TE and use Cooley as a receiving threat. Its more predictable than a Cooley/Gonzalez combo, but not so much more that its worth spending a ton of money.

I wouldn't want either of those guys staying in to block wasting their talents.

Re: Tony Gonzalez to be a free agent this offseason

I agree with Matty, we have more pressing needs (espically on defense) than to think about throwing a sizeable amount at a TE, a position we really don't need help. After all the discussion we've had here in the last week about free agents, I know we don't want to start talking about that already.

As a participant in the UNited Way charity, maybe Gonzo will view the Washington Reskins as a just cause and donate his time and money to helping us achieve our dreams....maybe.

I think one of Cooley's talents is actually his blocking, but that can be replaced easier than his other talents can.

Re: Tony Gonzalez to be a free agent this offseason

He is a pretty decent blocker, but I'd prefer he's out running for passes on passing down.

No way the Skins should sign him. We have enough weapons on offense, the only problem is we don't have someone to get them the ball.

Let's sign him for the biggest NFL contract EVER! He is the last missing piece. We'd win a superbowl for sure!

Re: Tony Gonzalez to be a free agent this offseason

i'd only sign him if we can somehow manage to let him take up all our cap space. maybe he could do a little coaching too...

Re: Tony Gonzalez to be a free agent this offseason

while he'd be nice to have, it'd be overkill and a waste since we already have cooley and 4 FA signings at WR (3 are expensive) with another at TE. depth is much more important at DB, LB, etc...
