Report: Cooley to IR today

[joethiesmanfan]

Moss off limits to trade. He is the veteran we keep with the youngsters. You need a mix of experience and youngstrers.

You're full of it Parrot Boy! Moss should be traded. Portis should've been traded last year. You sound like you work for the organization? "Yeah, we're going to win the next three games." "Moss is off limits." "Two out of three!" Are you on the payroll or what? If you're not, you're nuts!

Was that you I heard on EITM this morning?

"Am I on the air? What? Uhhhh I wanted the audio about Cooley?"

Gave me a chuckle.

I heard that too, that was Dan Steinberg from WaPo.

No trade of Cooley, we will have a strong 2 tight end set next year. Glad to see him go on IR though.

I mostly agree with both Ruhskins and BigHaired.

I think we look to see what we can get for folks like Moss, Rogers, Portis, or Campbell. We try to do this first.

Failing this, precisely because Cooley is our best player he might make the best trade to stockpile some picks. His injury status could hurt his trade value, though. We can't trade him cheaply, we should look to get a first and another later pick. With those picks we theoretically could upgrade the entire right side of the o-line, for example. This may be of greater value to us than two fine tight ends.

Even with two tight end sets, how are we going to get full value out of both Cooley and Davis? If they both have 65 catches, our wide receivers will see few balls.

As for Haynesworth, I don't see that trade happening. If someone else wanted to pay him as much as he is getting, they would have done so when we signed him.

Well that was a somewhat straight up trade. I mean are people looking to get the Herschel Walker trade all over again with Cooley?

No I think the tehory is that no player should ever be untradeable. If someone did offer us a 1 and a 3 then we'd be dumdum not to take it. It's perhaps over-value but not Herschel Walker trade over-value.

Jay Cutler? Kellen Winslow? Braylon Edwards? Jeremy Shockey? Marshall Faulk?

Damn...LOL.

Well I think none of them wanted to be with the team that traded them and/or were becoming problems in the locker room.

I was wrong to assume that no Pro Bowler in his prime was ever traded...but the examples given were of players who demanded a trade and didn't want to play for that particular team anymore. I don't think Cooley is in that situation, and this team can probably rebuild without having to part with Cooley.

Well you can call the Roy Williams trade the Herschel Walker Trade Part II.

I thought the Ricky Williams trade for the entire set of Draft picks was brilliant, until we traded over half of those for Champ. We could have been set for 3-5 years with all of those picks.
