According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network, there’s a good chance the Washington Redskins may decide to release veteran tight end Chris Cooley during the offseason because of his $3.8 million base salary for the 2012 season.

With the emergence of Fred Davis, it might be time to move on from the fan favorite.
