Cooley

The Redskins today saved some cash as they reworked the contract of tight end Chris Cooley.  FOXSports.com reported that the team converted an $11 million dollar roster bonus for Cooley into guaranteed cash.  The cap value now for Cooley drops from a team-high $12.2 mil to $4.4 mil for the 2008 season.  The Skins are right now $7 mil over the cap, but will be making roster moves (cutting QB Mark Brunell will be one move) to get under the cap.
