Cooley for Marshall?????

[Dr Do Itch Big]

I know I know, I already brought it up in another thread. But how great would this trade be? Their TE Scheff is in the dog house as well as Marshall with MC Douche. I think they would jump at the chanced to grab Cooley for Marshall, allowing them to either trade their TE or cut him. Marshall would behave under shanny, we finnally get our Pro Bowl WR, while we Develop our 3rd yr guys who are showing alot of potential, Davis fills right in where cooley left. And we focus completly on our needs in the draft (OL!!!) Your thoughts?

Gotta love Skins fans, some are sick of the splashy moves, some can't wait for the next one.

That's a big time NFW.

I'd really like to see what Shanahan would do with 2 pass catching TE's. Imagine Moss in the slot. Thomas and Kelly at #1 and #2, and Davis and Cooley going out for routes. Not to mention the availability for a RB to go out.

Plus we need OL, OL, OL. What I have read though is that (Rumor mill) Shanahan likes 1 pass catching TE and 1 blocking TE. Cooley and Davis are not blocking TE's so one might end up gone. Yoder is not that great as a blocking TE in my oppinion. I guess I could stomach losing Cooley if Shanahan felt he needed the WR. So long as they get their blocking TE.

Again why not T.O. if you so hung up on a big WR? He's a FA. No trades. No draft picks. Plus Shanahan tried to get him while in Denver.

That trade makes no sense for the Broncos. If they trade Marshall it will be for picks.

Hell no!!! Having 2 tight ends like Cooley and Davis on the field at the same time will be great. We have young receivers that are just starting to contribute and with a lot less attitude than Marshall

I agree that Cooley and Davis on the field together will be a dynamic combo. With Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly starting to show promise, the last thing that I would want for Cooley is a diva WR setting a poor example for Kelly, Thomas, and Marko Mitchell.

Any talk of new WR's/TEs is just crazy. We need an oline, after that is addressed we need quality backups for the oline. After that is addressed, we need defensive back 7, and a qb for the future. Giving up depth at a critical position such as TE, just cuz we have 2 very good ones is crazy. Bringing in new WR's when ours have potentially untapped potential under a new coaching staff is just crazy.
Ah skins fans, craziness abounds!

[MTK]

Making a move like this would just stink of the same old, same old in Washington.

I'm hoping the big splashy moves will be a thing of the past now and our main focus will be on building through the draft.

what is this "oline" you keep speaking of? i feel like i've heard of it before, but its been so long...

[SkinEmAll]

Thats a really bad idea. The last thing we need this offseason is trading one of the best tight ends in the league for a reciever. That is the least of our concerns this offseason.

I think big splashy moves are fine...when they are for good players and it fits a need that can push you over the top. For example: The AH signing would have been absolutely perfect if it really was the final piece of the pie. Instead it was a continuation of the complete delusion that our FO has seemed to be in for the better part of the decade that our team was any better than average talent-wise.

apparently this "oline" thing helps keep your qb upright and gives your running back holes to run through. Sort of like an engine in a car, it makes things work, but who needs that.....

[SmootSmack]

When Cooley was allegedly offered to the Broncos last year they didn't want him. Not sure why they would want him now. Trade doesn't make sense for either side.

[Monkeydad]

No way.

If we can really utilize Cooley and Davis, who can stop 2 Pro Bowl-caliber TEs?

We have some good WRs anyways. If we lose ARE and play Marko, it's a solid core of 4 WRs, 3 of them very young.
