Chris Cooley Released

[tryfuhl]

Cooley said when reached early Friday afternoon that he was unaware a meeting with the Redskins had been set for next week,but he would be receptive to discussing a possible return with the team. “I don’t know,” Cooley said. “I can’t guarantee what will happen. But this is where I want to live and play,so I’d definitely be open to talk.”

Redskins to meet with Chris Cooley next week

I'm not sure what kind of on-field impact he has left in him, but if they offered him a job in the Redskins organization I would be fine with that.

If anything, if Cooley could come in and just be a solid blocker for RGIII and company, that would mean more to me than him coming in and being an offensive weapon.

Cooley catching passes from the fullback position is a plus. He gives us good depth at 2 positions as well. Would love to have him back at a discount.

Absolutely. And every report I've read said he looked good in camp, ran well and lost 10 to 15 pounds. Even read a report why the Cowgirls should sign him. Writing him off is a little premature.

Every report I read was that he looked slow. Real slow.

This. But it wouldnt hurt to have him at depth. Give him Banks' spot. I guarantee he will be of more value than that little overhyped midget.

Everything I heard was that he was given basically nothing to do so it's tough to know just fast or whatever he is. But the reality is speed was never an asset of his. And I just don't want to hold onto him for a yet too long

From what I've heard, and can make of it (keep in mind this is just my take on it). If Niles Paul struggles on Sunday, Chris Cooley will be brought back for vet min until Paul can get up to the speed they want him to be. If Paul looks fine Sunday, sounds like the odds are against Cooley returning.

Again, that's what I took from it.

Well that'd be dumb. How can you expect Pail to suddenly figure it all out on Sunday? They like Paul and they're seemingly determined to see him succeed as a TE. From what we've all seen they can honestly expect much from him yet.

Yeah, sounds like Cooley would be insurance or something. Not too sure, but yeah, maybe they are more worried about Paul than we think?

Niles Paul was a no-show. I saw him on special teams (on the field, not making plays).

Sundberg is now hurt.

I say bring Cooley in to longsnap, plus back up at FB and TE too. He can still do a lot for this team...at a fairer salary for the team.
