It would cost the Eagles more to cut Riley Cooper than it would to keep him.

One year ago, the Eagles laughably gave Cooper a $22.5M contract with $10M guaranteed. He predictably face-planted in 2014, pathetically recording a 55-577-3 line with a 2.9 YAC average despite playing on 81.9 percent of the snaps in Chip Kelly's spread offense. Pro Football Focus graded Cooper as their worst wideout among 110 qualifiers. They'd be insane not to hand Jordan Matthews the starting job next year, but cutting Cooper would result in $6.2M of dead money against the cap. Keeping him around (likely as a blocker) will cost $4.8M against the cap.

lol why in the hell did they pay Riley Cooper and cut D Jax? It makes zero sense...you remember when the talking heads were picking the Eagles to be in the superbowl in the preseason...their roster is in worse shape than most think. Great to see
