Poll: Will Cooley be a Redskin in 2008? Sign in here for your serving of Crow.

[Walking Deadman]

Ok,

We all know the deal: Cooley's a FA after this season and he's yet to be re-signed.

Most of us want him back.

Cooley has pretty much stated that he wants to continue to be a 'Skin

The team/coaches appear to want him back.

But again nothing by the FO.....

Is this going to be the typical "let our Core Redskins" go, or will the FO finally wise up and re-sign our homegrown talent (like they finally did with Betts last year)?

* While we're at it, it might not be a bad idea to re-sign Campbell and Taylor to long tem deals as well.*

Your thoughts

[Touchdown Redskins]

Things like this usually get done during the season. Althought I would hate to think that Cooley wants to test the market. If he is, I have this to say to him:

Cooley don't go! Snyder has the deepest pockets in the league. We'll make you and your many cheerleaders billionaires!

[skinsfan07]

I don't think we'll let him go. That would be such a stupid decision. I wish we signed him already just so that no one has to worry about it anymore. He is a core redskin.

[Smurf85]

If it comes to it we will tag his butt.

[Siven]

I desperately want Cooley to stay, but I voted no, just because I think there is a good chance who could let him slip away.

[Bacon]

Most likely, yes, he will stay.

[REEGSKINS]

we undervalue our own guys, so i say we wont sign him. we should have dont this in February.

i doubt he wants to test the market,cooley is just not a money guy,he is a football player (plays the game because of the love for it)and if u look at all the interviews he always said he just wants to focus on football instead of getting the contract done but maybe he just said that because the camera's were in front of him,but i expect him to sign the :deal: by either right before the opener or right after we win the :1stplace:

Out-of-context thread?

:laugh:

Oh yea, and Cooley is staying in Washington.

[Walking Deadman]

I, sadly, said no as well.

Prove me wrong FO!!!!!!

That's right Vinny-- prove to me you can do your job b/c I'm not convinced you're very good at it.

That's right Mr. Snyder-- we know you got the $$$$ prove to me you can actually pay for a current Redskin.

That's right Coach-- we value "core" Redskins, we value character players and hard workers. Get this man re-signed.

[onedrop]

"most of us"? anoyone that doesnt want Cooley back is dumb enough to be cow****es fan.

and yes, he stays. ill rob a bunch of banks and pay him myself if i have to.

[Tarpon75]

Where is the re-sign Cooley petition thread?

[GOSKINS_08]

I voted yes that we will re-sign him..But thats me hoping..I have no reason to believe he will or wont re-sign.

[sens11]

He'll be back! Pay the man!

[Chick_in_B&G]

I was kind of torn. The FO's record of past incompetence told me to say no, but then my unfailing hommerism kicked in and told me to say yes. So, I consulted my magic eight ball and it said..................YES! Seriously though, my gut tells me there's no way Gibbs will let our only legit tight end go.

[ashsra]

I think they know they have to resign him. People weren't real happy when AP left, and the FO knows if they let a popular, young player like Cooley go they could have a serious fan revolt

[Mania]

If it comes to it we will tag his butt.

True, but in the end we will have to restructure, because you know how well these tags work. Doesn't do much for the working relationship of the player and management.

[burgngold fan]

i'll say yes! but that's just what i want to happen. but until it is done, i will be just a little bit worried.

[Warhead36]

I'll be pessimistic and vote No for now and hope to God that I'm wrong.

[jrockster21]

I have a bad feeling about this one - I keep having visions of Cooley in Eagle-green next season.

:puke:

Why did you have to day that? I'm going to bed and now I won't be able to sleep.

[throwback37]

No way do I want to see Cooley jerseys in the clearance bin.. they HAVE to keep him

[Tyron Biggums]

He is the next Tony Gonzo.. I think it is good thing for him to not sign a contract extension just yet.. If he waits til mid season he could really rack up some $. I believe he is going to have an all pro season and it's going to start to show week 1! He is a CORE player he isn't going anywhere but to the bank to collect his dues.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

i honestly think he'll be gone. our front office is so stupid for not locking him up already. if he has a great season and is putting up great numbers come week 6 or 7, unless we offer him something that hes worth (like an actual GOOD contract) hes gonna test the market. this is a business and if thinks someone will pay him more money, hes outta here. and lets be honest, when was the last time we hooked up a homegrown talent?

[RedskinzOwnU]

There's no excuse for waiting. This **** doesn't get any cheaper in October. It needs to be done ASAP. We can't even risk losing this guy, he's too important to the team's present and future. Losing him would literally set our offense back 1-2 years as we'll have to upgrade our receiving corps AND replace our starting tight end.
