Citing a source with knowledge of the situation, Profootballtalk.com reports Chris Cooley's $3.8 base salary has a cap number of $6.23 million in 2012. Coordinator Kyle Shanahan's comments notwithstanding, Cooley is far from a lock to be on the team next September. Fred Davis, now a superior player, is a free agent after the season, so the Redskins could opt to apply money saved by releasing Cooley toward a contract for their new starter.
