Riggo-toni Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 This is Cooley's last year in Burgundy and Gold.I've seen this movie before.... Sadly, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTaylorthePunterSlayer Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Do we negotiate during the season? Some teams have a policy against it; I honestly don't know what ours is.Are there even talks about this? If my memory serves me right, we resigned Betts before last season was up. So I think that Danny Boy and Vinny C don't have a policy against it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 "Whaa Whaa Whaa!!!! If They don't re-sign him, I quit this team." Sounds like some of you need to man-up. This is the era of Free Agency. Crying about it won't do anything. He'll get signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthor99 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Cooley's deal will get done. I've always said it wouldnt suprise me if the Skins took the same route they took Ladell Betts extension by waiting until later in the season to get it done. I bet come the end of September Cooley's agent and Vinny will try to hammer something out long term, and by Nov or December a deal will be announced.

Ellis Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I am confident that the Skins will make him a nice offer... but part of me thinks Cooley doesn't want to be here and that may be why he hasn't signed anything. He's talked on more than one occassion that he wants to be on a winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackest Eyes Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 this deal better get done ASAP. Cooley needs to be a career long redskins imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucfSKINS Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I do believe it would be somewhat cheaper to resign him before the season starts, before he has an even better season that the last three. I wouldn't worry too much (hope I'm not wrong of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyominghansen Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Because we have so much money tied up in old backup QB's. I think that Brunell will be the highest paid 3rd string QB in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C26 Run Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I hope your wrong about him going elsewhere. We cannot lose a receiver like Cooley. We resigned Betts, I believe we'll resign Cooley. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASKINTOTHEEND Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Everyone saw what Cooley is capable of in the game against the Steelers. He's really our only reliable target over the middle and very good after the catch. So the big question is, why haven't we given him an extension? The whole situation is so stupid. It's like Synder would rather give some free agent TE that's not even as good as Cooley a huge contract, but since Cooley is "home grown" he's all of a sudden not worth it. This is going to be Antonio Pierce all over again. When Cooley signs with the Eagles and scores 3 TDs against us next year, it will be an all too familar scene. SSSHHHH!!!!! Don't say that! This dude is awesome. We need to keep Cooley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 We'll resign him when the time is right. It's not the right time now. I think we should wait until sometime during the season to sign him. It would be good for the team to build him up and to recognize him with an extension/raise as a means to reward him for what he's meant to this franchise so far. I believe he is a "core" guy and the team/org is waiting for the right time to resign him. Sure, there are probably still some negotiations going on, but I think timing plays a role as well. Larry Michael joked with him on Redskins.comTV last week about hoping "they" sign him really soon. Cooley smiled in agreement it seemed, so it's probably in the works as we speak. :2cents: HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Why doesn't Snyder just pay all the vets $1M a year and put in the contract that when they retire they get 30M or something, lol. Totally bypass the Cap altogether. Or just do it under the table. But Cooley should already be signed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTerps26 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Cooley's Agent: "Cooley should get Vernon Davis; Contract Plus 3 mil and more incentives" Snyder: "I'll pay you in Johnny Rocket's Meals and free tickets to Six Flags" Cooley's Agent: "I guess i'll be making trips to Philly, Denver and Long Island" Snyder: "Who cares....

skins84 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I heard that Cooley wants to get a big time deal and is gonna wait until his contract is over to see the market before they start to negotiate. He doesn't want a "home team" Betts kind of extension. He wants a big time contract, i'm sure the Skins will be his first choice as long as they are willing to give up big money. Keep in mind, he was only a 3rd round draft pick so it's not like he's been rolling in money these past few years. He's looking to get his big pay day, and rightfully so.

RenegadeTK Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 its kind of a catch-22. because the man deserves a big pay day more than just about anyone, but at the same time, the franchise needs to be careful bc they have other contracts to get done as well in the end.... hopefully he gets paid. he seems happy here and is a true redskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yet another player we should have extended two years ago. Way to go, front office. Clearly it was absolutely necessary to spend those cap dollars on Archuleta and Lloyd rather than locking up Cooley and Dockery at affordable rates. Agreed. This is the one way we need to be more like the Fecals. Instead, our M.O. seems to have been to tie up every last penny of cap space signing expensive new FA players. That's changed somewhat over the past season or two but the need to lock up promising players at reasonable rates before they blow up seems to not have sunk in for our F.O.

smalczak Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 If you were Cooley, would you sign an extension now with the Skins? He can wait and go anywhere he wants for more $$. Maybe he prefers to play for a proverbial winner. Forget him ... he is gone after this year. Just remember that not everything is in Cooley's court on this one. He has to manage the risk factor as well. If he avoids signing a new contract now to try and cash in in as a FA but suffers a serious injury, then what? He could be screwing himself out of millions, particularly if it happens at the end of the year. I think he can probably make more on the FA market than the team would be offering him now, but signing now takes the risk away as well. Its not something I think is a major factor, but it is something to consider from the player's perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshiePoo85 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Regardless of why, I'm with the rest of you that feel this should've been done long ago. Sorry B-Lloyd and Randel El, but Cooley is the number 2 receiver on this team. here here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
