Front Office - Why isn't Cooley extended?

I'm sorry, but seeing our weakened position at LG, and seeing the impact that Cooley is having in pre-season already, makes me wonder why we haven't extended Cooley yet. I mention LG because I think had we extended Dock before last season we would have been in a much better position than we currently find ourselves in.

We did a great job extending Betts and Sellers. I wonder if Cooley's agent simply isn't negotiating because he is expecting a big season from Cools?

What do you guys think?

I don't know the ins and outs of the Cooley thing, and maybe you other guys are right and it isn't the FO, but I think you are right on target with the Dockery point. JLC and the Post reported that the Skins had ridiculous offers in to Dock and pretty much insulted the guy. No one on here would have advocated signing Dock to the $49 mil that the Bills gave him (though some of us might now after watching how poorly the Skins have done at filling that position), but had they made a legit offer to Dock before or during the season we could still have him in a Skins uni.
