EvoSkins Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Based on the recent Post article, Gibbs won't give up Coles without something in return. Gibbs will not release him and looks to probably live with taking the cap hit for trading Coles. I know the reworking Samuels contract is a big hurdle, but would Coles sit out in protest? Would he be that cheap and petty? Everyone says what a professional Coles is, but would he honor his contract even though he is unhappy? Would Coles sit out if not traded or released or will he man up and play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tae Bo Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I don't think things are that bad. He wants out, but it hasn't gotten personal ...yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Na, I think he'd play. I mean if he was that desperate to get out last year as rumors reported, he wouldn't have played as hard as he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLSKINSFAN Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 That's a tough question. I don't think anyone can really say, right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsarethebest Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 question: if a player voluntarily sits out, what ramifications does that have on the cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martino Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 No he wont sit out. I have read that he would in fact play hard if he is forced to stay on the team. That is what a fellow teammate said that Coles told him. I think its true and Gibbs knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Coles would play and play hard. This isn't a personal matter. Coles simply wants to go where he feels he'll get more deep passes (like he won't get any here ). The Redskins just want fair price in a trade for him. Were Coles to sit out, it would make him look like a cancer-type guy that would cause REAL trouble for a team the moment something doesn't sit right with him. No way anyone would give him decent money if he were to get a reputation like that. :wewantd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vnmenon1 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 REGARDLESS of what has happened, Coles has played his HEART out for us... and will continue to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallsux Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by EvoSkins Would Coles sit out if not traded or released or will he man up and play? I think Coles would man up & play. He has nothing to gain by showing other prospective teams that he cannot be professional about this whole thing, especially since he is still getting paid. He has a lot to offer by getting the surgery now & playing hard during the rest of his time here. He can show other teams what he is worth & should perform to the highest level so that he can get a big contract somewhere else. That would be the smart way to go for him.

a_good_brotha Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I'm not sure what to think of Coles anymore. Sure he played his heart out, but I never would have expected him to want to leave the team. He's only been here one year and he's frustrated with the offense. Why don't he stop and realize that if we get the run going and the short passes, it will open up the big play. It's not like Gibbs to be this conservative. I remember their last Super Bowl run all the times Rypien went deep to his receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 well if he did stay and hoped to be traded next season... sitting out like a baby would not help his price rise for next off season.....not to mention the fact that teams would wonder what a year off would do to him...so he would play....

JoeSkinsfaninNJ Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Look, Coles might want to give some bonus money back to get released, but he thinks he'll get that back when he signs elsewhere. If he sits out, he doesn't get paid, and it looks like he's all about the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinzOwnU Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 you can't play football forever. i think the man is clearly very focused on playing football and maximizing his potential - the last thing he is going to do is waste a year in his prime (minus the toe). And if he really does want out, no team will ever trust him if he doesnt play hard for us this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 let him he wouldn't get paid, and the Skins would get a cap refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
