Front Office - Why isn't Cooley extended?

I agree - the Dockery situation is what freaks me out. Dock had a great season last year and although we might have wrapped him up before the season we waited. I really think Cooley is going to blow up this season - call it a hunch. And if he goes for like 70 catches / 800 yards / 8 TDs or something like that, I just have a feeling he is going to be able to get some big money out there.

Shockey signed a 5 year 26 million dollar deal a couple of years ago I believe. I got to think if Cooley has a year like I mentioned, his agent will be looking for something around what Shockey got - maybe even more. Will the Skins pay that kind of money for a Tight End?
