Chris Cooley signs contract extension!!

...and it sends a great message to Sean Taylor. It's obvious it would be hard for them to do a deal with him right now (cap space,) but they're making it very clear that they're making it a priority to take care of their own. (i.e., he'll be well taken care of next year.)

Cooley quoted in the Post article:



Makes it sound like the agent got in the way, here.

He talks to coaches directly, and four days later it is done.

Need to kep this in mind before we jump to the conclusion it is always Snyder blocking these negotiations.
great point. and thanks sc skins fan for the pics. man, that girl is hot

Sweet. It's nice to get some good news. Now let's trade Brunell and roll into the regular season.
So even after you got to see Palmer ripping it up the other night you still think its a good idea to cut Brunell?

We still have Collins who looked just as good as Brunell. The only problem I have with Brunell is that he has such a fat contract.

Brunell's cap figure for this season is really not an issue. He agreed to have his hit reduced this past offseason.

Cooley is the new face of the Washington Redskins and very popular in the locker room. His work ethic and skills have amazed me to be honest.

When Gibbs moved up in the draft to get him I'm sure nobody knew what the hell they were doing. Guess Gibbs knows his stuff afterall.

To think, Cooley was oh so close to becoming a hated Cowboy. The "tuna" had his eyes on him and wanted him badly.

Think that Cooley was in a much better place to command contract before season unlike Sean Taylor who still has more work to do........

GREAT NEWS!

Huh?

Parcells actually told Cooley that he didn't feel he could play in the NFL.

Per Cooley himself via an interview on Extremeskins:

I always thought that I was good enough to play in the NFL. It was just kind of a joke to me that Coach Parcells didn’t think that I could play. I was kind of surprised. Really, I don’t use it too much, it’s just always there. I just always thought ‘what the hell?’

Huh?

Parcells actually told Cooley that he didn't feel he could play in the NFL.

Per Cooley himself via an interview on Extremeskins:


Didn't the draft order that year have Dallas as a possibility?

Parcells has been known to play head games with players to gain the most out of them. If they cannot take the heat he gets rid of them. He's like that father who's never happy with anything......

So he tells Cooley he's not good enough to be a pro player and drafts him. Already has the player with a chip on his should and ready to prove them wrong.

Heard an interveiw after Cooley torched Dallas for 3 TD's or something like that.....maybe its after the fact.......

it could have easily been parcells trying to throw some of the other teams off, that had interest in cooley

I had my doubts that this extension would get done, but thank god it did. Cooley is going to have a monster year.
best front office move post free agent signing period this year F*&kin "A" thats the way go skins
