Green and Cameron worked together when both were with the Washington Redskins, and Cameron relied heavily on such past associations while putting together his staff and roster. He has previous ties with at least eight players, and he has worked before with seven of his assistant coaches. He's much more inclined to delegate |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Funny that a player nicknamed ``Captain Chaos'' would be seeking stability. Tight end Chris Cooley got just that Saturday, signing a six-year, $30 million contract extension with the Washington Redskins. The contract includes $14 million in guaranteed money for the player whose colorful outfits and antics are matched only by his reliability and strength as one of the Redskins' best offensive weapons. Cooley caught 57 passes for 734 yards and six touchdowns last season and led all NFL tight |
