jetstreams Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Jets are cool on Cooley August, 29, 2012 AUG 29 2:09 PM ET By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.com RECOMMEND3 TWEET8 COMMENTS7 EMAIL PRINT FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets' injuries at tight end, coupled with the Redskins' release of Chris Cooley, have fueled speculation (mostly among fans) about possible interest in the former Pro Bowler. Ain't happening. The Jets have no interest in Cooley. And I can't blame them for feeling that way. Cooley is 30 years old and has missed 20 games over the past three seasons, including 11 last season. He's basically an older version of Dustin Keller, a pass catcher more than a blocker. The Jets need a sturdy blocker at tight end, not another receiving type. They have Keller and Jeff Cumberland, who is returning from a concussion. True, the Jets haven't replaced the versatile Josh Baker (season-ending knee injury), but I suspect GM Mike Tannenbaum will find a body over the next few days. I guess they want a more of a blocking TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I am indifferent concerning this one. I wouldn't be upset if they signed him, but It may be fools gold and jumping at him because of the timing of it all may be a mistake. There's gonna be LOTS of cuts over the next week or so and we've cleared plenty of roster room to play considering they are still holding some guys they could take or leave.

Smashmouth Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I thought Cooley was a decent blocker ? All around type TE could be wrong I mean we do have a ****ing rugby player on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Even if Cooley doesn't fit into our particular scheme, I'll always like him. He has a history of posting silly videos to his personal website, and a few years back, some fans got on him for not keeping his mind on football. He responded by posting a video of himself as he "focused on football" all day. Sarcastic and awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yes what I know of cooley he is more receiver than blocker and has been hurt the last couple of years-not so upset to pass on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This sounds like code for "we found out that cooley isn't interested in not starting for us" just like they were "never realy seriously considering manning". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 no tthat i wanted cooley but i just ****ing hate tannenbaum as a gm. why do we have a ****ing accountant as our gm? fml Why? It was like this even during 2010, when we went 11-5 and beat Peyton Manning and Tom Brady back to back in the playoffs before falling to Pittsburgh. I guess the fans will always b**** about every meaningless thing until we win another SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
