3) Cooley is more likely to rework a deal during that tagged season than Taylor

4) Cooley is just as much of a fan fav as Taylor and IMO the tie goes to the Offensive player

5) Campbell uses Cooley as his safety net which is important to extended success of the football team

6) In the unlikely event that we were going to trade the tagged player b/c of his feelings or cap #'s or whatever, Cooley has more trade value b/c he is undoubtedly top 3 in the league at his position...

landry wasnt to pan out taylor g will scheme requires two good safteies one to cover one to blitz that's why we got taylor taylor is our best defensive player

Well, if I had to pick one right now, I'd probaboly pick Cooley. Taylor is easily my favorite player, and in terms of overall play, he's the better player at his position as opposed to Cooley. However, looking at where we've drafted, who we have currently on the team who can step in and replace roles, you have to go Cooley. He's been awsome for us since he got here, and I'd hate to lose that type of a target inside the redzone.

shouldn't even get to that point. they shouldn't even reach free agency. they need to work the deals out before the last year of the contract. in Taylors case, they better get it done before the season. Probably about the same time Landry gets his. Landry's contract is going to be more than Sean's and in no way would he come to camp, in my mind that is. He will definately hold out if his deal is less than Landry. Pro Bowler, top 5 in the league and a rookie making more....that is not good.

Very Simply. Cooley!

I think that we should wait untill this upcoming season is over. Based upon their preformances last year, neither is worth a franchise, but they both have the potential to be a franchise player, the question is will either of them fill out their potential, and if so which one?

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I hope it doesn't come to franchising, so I'll just say that I think that Cooley is more important than Taylor. Cooley's potential isn't as great as Taylor's, but Cooley's production is better at this point. Moreover, with a young QB under center, I think Cooley's value is pretty high right now.

I wouldn't look for a deal to get done with Cooley before the season. First we need to sign the draft picks, and then there's the possibility of signing a DE. Then you have to leave some leftover cap for moves during the season. I think if a deal were to get done, it would come during the season.

Without question, the draft picks are first priority, Cooley should be second, and Taylor should be next. It would be nice to see the skins just up his contract to the what he should have received had he held out of camp as a good will gesture until they can have real contract talks with him, but he should be happy enough to realize he has a huge payday coming if he just plays hard for a couple of more years.

You got at least the draft picks and Cooley thing right. Thinking knucklehead has the smarts to comprehend he has a big pay day....he's probably busy chasin some other knucklehead down on his ATV in Miami?
