If Chris Cooley plans on going out in public anytime soon, he should probably do his best to make sure he doesn't run in to Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo, because if that happens, things could get ugly for Cooley.
The feud between Orakpo and Cooley started this week when the former Redskins tight end did a radio interview where he bashed Robert Griffin III.
During the interview with ESPN 980 in Washington, D.C., Cooley basically said that RG3 was a horrible teammate and that, for the most part, no one liked him.
Orakpo took issue with several of Cooley's comments and let him know on Twitter. Orakpo made sure to let Cooley know that that he's going "smack the shit" out of Cooley if he sees him out in public.
Get this BUM Chris Cooley off the radio and tv please... don't worry still got property in VA when I see him Ima smack the shit out of him— Brian Orakpo (@rak98) March 9, 2016
Cooley, RG3 and Orakpo were all teammates in Washington in 2012.
At that point, another teammate from 2012 also chimed in. Redskins tight end Niles Paul sent out a tweet that was basically telling Cooley to close his mouth.
"Can't keep shittin on people you worked with and called your teammates," Paul wrote on twitter.

Former NFL defensive back Ryan Clark, who played for the Redskins in 2014, also said Cooley's comments were ridiculous.
"First of all ... Anything he says I don't necessarily pay attention to," Clark said on ESPN's First Take. "A lot of people get out of football and forget who they were when they played football. He's just a dude who gets his rocks off bashing people in Washington."
Clark seems to have a point with that "bashing people" thing, because Cooley didn't seem to have a problem with RG3 when he was playing with him. Back in 2012, the Redskins tight end told our Jason La Canfora that RG3 was a great leader.
"He's the leader of this football team," Cooley said at the time. "I can honestly say that. He's so real. There's no B.S. This is who he is. I sit next to him in the team meetings, and there isn't a guy on the team he doesn't have a relationship with. Not one."
Maybe Cooley's just mad because he only caught one pass in 2012, which ended up being his final year in the NFL.
