Mark Maske and Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Cooley will retire from the NFL and join the Redskins' radio broadcasts as an analyst this season. An official announcement might come as soon as Tuesday.
A two-time Pro Bowl tight end, Cooley played nine seasons in Washington. He was cut before training camp last season but re-joined the team during the year. Cooley publicly said this offseason he was only interested in returning to the field if it was for the Redskins, but they saw him fitting into their broadcast team rather than their 53-man roster. Cooley won't replace legend Sam Huff in the broadcast booth, instead providing periodic analysis throughout the game.

One of everyone's favorite players during the Gibbs 2.0 era. Please share your thoughts on Cooley's career, and where he fits in with the greatest Skins receivers of all time. Also, what was your favorite Cooley moment?
Happy Trails, #47!
