Former Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley said Thursday he thinks the team will re-sign him this season only if there is a significant development to alter its current roster, such as an injury to current starting tight end Fred Davis. Cooley said he isn’t interested in any of the offers that he has received from other NFL teams to serve as a backup on a minimum-salary contract. He is coming to grips, he said, with the possibility that he could end up retiring if he doesn’t receive an offer to his liking this season or next offseason. And he has begun to give thought to his post-playing career options, he said, including a possible future role in the Redskins organization, perhaps as a team-affiliated broadcaster. “I don’t know what’s going to happen,†Cooley said in a telephone interview. “I want to play here, but I don’t know if anything will happen with that.†Source: Washington Post
