NFL.com's Jason La Canfora expects Chris Cooley to be a candidate for release. La Canfora is simply stating the obvious, as Cooley is set to make $3.8 million in 2012 after missing 20 games with injury the past three seasons. Cooley has said he has "no doubt" he'll be back in Washington, so it's possible he'll be amenable to returning at a reduced salary.
