If you don't think a top TE in the league is a big investment, your dead wrong, just look at the top TE's contracts in the league, witten, heap, shockey, or any top 5 TE for instance, maybe then you'll understand a top TE in the league is starting to require a big check.
With that said Cooley is a premier TE in this league and needs to be paid accordingly in DC!

I am not on any crack. You guys act like if Cooley left, our offense would totally fall apart. I love the guy and def DO NOT want him to leave and we should pay him accordingly. But there are by my count about 10-13 guys in the NFL that have his skill set. It's not like we could never find a guy to do what he does. My point is he should be paid like some of the top guys, but it's not like he isn't replaceable. That's all I'm saying becasue I think he is replaceable. Put it this way. If it came down to us getting a pass rusher, or keeping Cooley I would take the pass rusher becasue they are harder to find.
Here are TE's in the NFL that can do what Cooley does, or do it better than him IMO.
Witten
Heap
Crumpler
Gates
Watson
Gonzalez
V. Davis
Shockey
LJ Smith
Dallas Clark
The TE drafted by Chicago forgot his name.
D. Graham
Winslow
