I think they'll ask Cooley to take a pay cut, but I see no reason as to why we shouldn't keep him as good depth. Do fans forget FD is one strike away from losing a whole season?
As far as your third side note goes, I don't see why we shouldn't keep Fletch for another couple seasons. He's always healthy, he's the only truly consistent player on defense, his age is just a number imo, and if we let him go that's just another hole we have to fill. Would I be opposed to finding his long term replacement in the draft? No, but this isn't a major priority to me. Signing Fletch for another couple seasons is.
Fourth side note: Recent photos suggest Landry has gone insane, so w/e happens with him I'm not going to sweat it. Although if we do let him go that's yet another hole we have to fill.

Cooley isn't the player he used to be. I haven't seen him preform in a long time. Also he has been hurt alot recently. He's getting up there in years, and he has a huge cap number. We're not going to be able to keep him and Davis. I say at the very least try to trade him to get some value before he leaves, but I doubt we could get anything for him....which goes to show how little value he has.
I think fletch will be consistent next year, I'm not saying he won't be next year (but the year after that I'll have my worries). I just look at all our needs and the availability to fill those needs. It seems MLB of the future is something that we can address right now, so I think it would be unwise to waste this opportunity. If we just want a guy to fill in and play another year, yeah fletcher will be fine. But I'm always looking to the future (and I think tulloch would probably be an upgrade...but that's not all that important as opposed to longevity IMO)
