SKINS 5.1 million under cap.

We just resigned Betts during the season, and it probably saved the team a ton of money.

True. Good call. Ladell did us right. I hope Cooley sees things that way too.

Betts was a bit of a different situation though, at the time when he resigned with us i doubt he would have gotten big money anywhere else. No one really knew how good he was, outside of our staff.

Cooley on the other hand has shown over a couple of seasons how good he is and there will be big money for him out there if he hits the market. So it wouldn't make sense for him to sign a deal like Betts', he is simply worth more than Betts.

I don't know about that. If Betts had hit the open market, he may have had quite a few suitors. He was coming off a career year and teams like Green Bay, Buffalo, the Texans and even Atlanta may have been willing to throw more money at him than we paid for him. Remember, when he resigned, the insanity that was this year's free agency had not yet even been hinted at.

Yeah thats what i was getting at, we resigned him before he put up those numbers and showed the rest of the league how good he could be. I am sure you are right, that if he waited he would have gotten a big pay day elsewhere on the open market.

Which is why we can't let Cooley hit the open market.

lets just trade a fifth and a seventh for schobel

I believe that Cooley likes the DC area too much to want to leave. I also believe that he is a true Redskin. I don't see him going anywhere. He has made appearances at Beach Blitz, Keggs n Eggs, and various other things. I think he feels right at home here.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with it. Watching Cooley in full flight is a beautiful thing. LOL.

Good evening sir. I love the way Cooley somehow NEVER gets brought down.

I have a "Man Crush on Cooley". I am thinking about getting a poster of him put on my bedroom ceiling, I still have to ask the wife though. JK!
