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. Near the start of training camp, a video surfaced on a local website, CrossingBroad.com, that showed Cooper shouting a racial epithet at an African-American security guard.

Cooper, who is white, had attended a Kenny Chesney concert at Lincoln Financial Field. The video showed him trying to get backstage and accosting the security guard working at the gate.

I can't believe a racist remark was made at a country concert.

Not that it makes Copper any better, but Shady McCoy is wanted for assaulting two off duty police officers this morning.
