Search for Lost NFL Players Ends

Tragic

Two players, third man lost at sea.

After a three-day search of over 24,000 miles of ocean, the Coast Guard has called off its search for missing Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, free-agent defensive lineman Corey Smith, and former college player William Bleakley. The three men have been missing since their boat capsized during a fishing trip on Saturday. The boat and one survivor, Nick Schuyler, were found. According to the Associated Press, “Searchers spotted no signs of the men except for a cooler and a life jacket 16 miles southeast of the boat.”
