WR Cooper released by Eagles after 6 seasons

PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles released wide receiver Riley Cooper, one of the players most closely associated with former head coach Chip Kelly.

The Eagles announced the move Monday, the first day they were permitted to make the move.

Cooper, 28, was the Eagles' fifth-round draft choice in 2010. In his first three seasons, under head coach Andy Reid, Cooper caught a total of 46 passes for 679 yards and five touchdowns.

When Kelly replaced Reid in 2013, it was unclear how Cooper or most other players would fit into his offensive scheme.
