Redskins give tight end Cooley six-year contract extension (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d801ff88c&template=without-video&confirm=true)
That article on NFL.com says he got 6 years, 30 million, with a 14 million signing bonus. Good deal for him, I like it and he deserves it. I'm glad to see us extend our homegrown players, I'd much rather see us rely on the draft and then extend rather than do what we do in free agency.

Hallelujah and thank you Snyder for getting this done!

Perfect deal, I love it.
He probably could have commanded more on the open market but I think he really wanted to stay here.
I'm going to break out my Cooley jersey today to celebrate!

6 Years, $14 million to sign, worth up to $30 million in total money (including the $14 million bonus).
That's a friggin bargain for a player of his caliber. Way to go Skins. See what happens when we're proactive with resigning our core guys? First Betts, now Cooley. Two key offensive cogs, both at a bargain price.

That's one deal I'm glad they got done before the end of the season. Way to go FO.......There's no way I wanted to see Cooley hit the FA market, or having to use the tag, this is one of our best FO moves in a while, at least from a long range standpoint.....Hail!!!

Although I don't think Taylor will happen until next year at this time. And if he has the breakout season G.Williams is predicting, waiting until next year may be worth his while.
