For Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has increased his workout regimen in hopes of getting back to his playing weight of 250 pounds. At 33-years-old, Cooley is considering a comeback attempt. With the type of tight ends that exist in today’s game, there’s no way Cooley could still be an impact player.
Cooley last played in the NFL in 2012, when he re-joined the Redskins midseason after being cut during training camp with the team. While Cooley was one of the better receiving tight ends during the prime of his career, it would be hard to expect him to be able to rediscover his old self at this point, but that may not matter to him.
