[FONT=Times New Roman]"It really came together in the past two days. Chris said he was discussing his uncertain situation with some of the positions coaches maybe 5 days ago or so and then within the past couple of days Dan Snyder made a push to get it done"[/FONT]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad he's locked up. One less problem we have to worry about. Here's hoping he earns his first Pro Bowl this season.

Thats really good news. I am really happy to have Captain Chaos locked up for 6 more years. He's a core redskin and great for this team. Now that Cooley has his deal lets make sure to get Taylor his. I think hes a free agent after next season but Im not certain.

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

Great news to start off a great season.

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

The good news just keeps on coming. Notice how the vibe of this season is already sooooo much different then the beginning of last season, or is it just me. Cooley should retire as a Redskin and I do predict his 1st pro bowl selection this year, move over Alge Crumpler its going to be Shockey and Cooley......I'm so ready for Week 1 to get here.....IS IT THE 9th YET!!!!!!

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

BEST NEWS I've heard outta REDSKINS park in sometime on a contact extension! THAT'S GREAT, he's gonna tear it up this year! :)

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

I had my doubts that this extension would get done, but thank god it did. Cooley is going to have a monster year.

Re: Cooley Re-Signed

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

He's gonna be a Skin for life. YES!! He's one of my favorite players, and now we get to see him for years to come. I wonder how much he got....

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.

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

good well deserved

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

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!

Re: Cooley Re-Signed
 

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.
