This really concerns me not just from the standpoint of our WR situation but more from the standpoint that this is totally ludicrous coming from Coles. He 100% does not seem like the guy who would do this. Obviously we never really KNOW these guys but I think you can get a good insight into their personalities based on their level of effort and their tenacity. It just doesn't fit. So what the hell is going on here? What is SO BAD that he wants out enough that Gibbs thinks it's the best thing to do? I mean what did Gibbs tell him that they would probably draft a WR to be their #1 and Coles rightfully said screw off? Man this is craziness I tell you.

At least he did it in a respectful manner. Didn't go through the media - tryed to do it quietly and without problem. I gave the guy crap about his injury, but I'm really going to miss him!
Could this mean a possible trade for Moss? He'd come a lot cheaper if we sent Coles... Just a thought. None of the FA receivers impress me - neither do many in the draft. Edwards, Williams, and Williamson (SC dude) all have possibilties. The worst thing is - said the Cowboys are in the market for a WR.

SmootSmack - didn't Gibbs also say that during the regular season?
I think he got sick of running curl routes - and more than anything... Losing.

I just can't believe that two stand up guys can't get on the same page here.

All I'm saying is that just because he's not happy with the offense shouldn't be the barometer of whether it can be a good offense.
I''m not trying to turn on Coles here because I think he's very talented and gives his all on the field. But it's kind of curious that he didn't place any of the blame on his injuries.
I'm at a loss for words right now, this one is totally out of left field.

So let me get this straight...we might lose Coles, Smoot, possibly Perice and Samuels all this offseason???
Maybe someone, like Dasel, understood the article better than I do. But what do we get by releasing Coles? As far as the Cap this year, and especially next season?

I guess that's just it, you never truly know what makes these guys tick.

Gmanc, I think Coles' giving up his bonus may actually help us keep Smoot and Pierce
But this looks like a call for CrazyCanuck
