Cooley for Marshall?????

[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.

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.

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.

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.

I with you Buster it's a mismatch all day 2 WR, 2 TE, 5 OL, 1 QB & 1 RB that is damn near impossible to stop when executed right.

We could even put Cooley or Davis in the slot or spread out as a WR to be covered by a LB or safety in CB-territory. Better Davis than Cooley so Chris can block. When either of them are in the open field, they run over defenders or in Fred's case, hurdles over them. They get the tough yardage and turn stops into first downs.

I'm not against this trade. I think we may be able to get a pick out of the Marshall trade. If a 3rd gets packaged in, I'd be happy. Gives us a real WR for the first time in a long time and maybe another OL with the 3rd. Won't cry if it doesnt happen since I love Cooley.

Fred Davis has had basically, 3/4 of a good season...let's see what he has to offer for at least another season before we start calling him a pro bowler

I said "potential" Pro Bowler.

Have you watched him after catching a pass? He refuses to go down. He has some cleanup to do on his game, like eliminating penalties and mistakes, but his future looks incredibly bright. He's like Antonio Gates, Jr.

Guys, O-line isn't the only thing we need to address in the offseason. We don't have enough play makers on offense. Even if we had an all pro offensive line, Kelly and Thomas aren't the answer. Both have a whopping 25 receptions this year. So yes, I would be all for getting more playmakers on offense. Trade Cooley for Marshall.

[Lotus]

To the question of the thread, NO!

If we trade Cooley, it makes no sense to swap him for a WR, especially one with known attitude problems.

Given that Shanahan and Marshall had a falling out in Denver, I can't see Shanny doing it, anyway.

How do we really know what we have with our WRs when we mostly ran quick/short routes?

Exactly. I was watching a little of Redskins Kickoff on CSN yesterday before the game and I thought I spotted a Warpath member on the texts they scroll at the bottom of the screen. It said "Enough of the checkdowns, Campbell, throw it deep!"

I thought to myself "hey genius, how do you go deep without time for the WRs to get down the field!?!?!?"

Those comments are always retarded.

Just heard Mortensen on ESPN say that Shanny tried to trade B.M before he left Denver. T.O will land here before B.M.
