Well I don't know what calling him the most overrated player means. It's not like there are very many highly rated players on this offense to begin with.
Cooley has had a down year, but the guy has been very solid for years for the Skins despite a revolving door at QB and offensive coordinator, not to mention a slew of shitty O-lines.
Fred Davis is a better athlete for sure, but Cooley runs better routes, is better after the catch, and, despite the drops, does have better hands. However, if the right offer is on the table, I can only think of two or three Skins that are untradeable, and Cooley isn't one of them.
I'd probably give the nod to Davis for better after the catch.. too soon to tell on hands

I agree. Tight end is one of the few positions (it may be the only position) where we have legitimate depth. We need youth period. Looking at our starting defense last week and the fact that they are probably going to 18 games makes the strategy of trying to win a championship with an old team obsolete.
If we were offered a 4th for Cooley, I would take it tomorrow.
I wouldn't take a 4th.. he was drafted in the 3rd and we'd give him up for less than that. 4th rounder is a project lineman or LB or something, Cooley definitely has more value than that I think. We'd need a player and a 4th. I don't like the idea of getting anything less than a 2nd or very high 3rd though I doubt many teams are willing to give up a 2nd.

Yes please! I'd take him as competition for Armstrong/3rd receiver in a heartbeat.
I think he could easily be our #2

Wow, can't believe the Cooley hate going on. The guy has been a consistent go to guy for the last few years, with the exception of last season when he was injured. You just don't give up Cooley for a fourth rounder, no sir. He's worth at least a 2nd rounder in my opinion and maybe then some.
And I think Fred Davis has some potential as well, but he doesn't quite have the hands that Cooley has, but at least he is explosive when he does get the ball.

Instead of trading Cooley, I would trade:
McNabb
Haynesworth
DHall- now that he has been voted to the pro-bowl he can fetch a decent pick, re-sign Rogers and go after Champ Bailey in FA.
Agreed. I can't believe the Cooley bashing either.
Fred Davis sux. I hate him.
Why the hate for FD? I wish we used him more.

You would rather have Rogers instead of DHall? That doesn't make much sense to me. Also, DHall wouldn't get us more than 4th round pick. His contract is a little inflated (at least I think it is), and he isn't a true "shutdown" corner.
DHall is a playmaker. Rogers is a player with some decent cover skills.

Would you prefer Breaston, Jacoby Jones (with Kyle in Houston) or Braylon Edwards?
