TE Cooley, out of NFL since 2012, to work out for Giants

Former Washington tight end Chris Cooley, who has not played in the NFL since 2012, will be one of several players to work out for the Giants Tuesday, according to a source.

Cooley, 33, has been out of football for four years, and he hasn't had a productive season since 2010, when he made 77 catches for 849 yards for Washington. His career was derailed by left knee issues. He's spent the last few years co-hosting a radio show called "The Drive" in Washington, D.C.

But he's been desperate to try to return to the NFL for much of this offseason, so much so that he said on his radio show in August that he'd take the league minimum salary to suit up for Washington.
