    Does that formation intrigue you because they're all white?

      I'm not talking about players making ultimatums

      Just a hunch, but I think Riley Cooper might have a drinking problem more than a race problem. Seem to recall a story about him punching through a car window in college. Cost him an entire season because of the injury he sustained. Sounds like alcohol might have been involved in that.

      The sad part is that he's the very definition of mediocrity yet he actually might be the second or third best WR on the team. I don't know why this organization has so much trouble finding good WR's. Been this way for decades. One or two decent ones trickle in but never a solid receiving corp from top to bottom. If Jackson gets hurt, they are screwed big time. Then they've got absolutely nuttin'.
      I believe that if Chip senses in any way, that bringing back Riley Cooper will divide that locker room, then he won't bring him back. The only way he's going to get a feel for that, is to get his player's input. Not every single player, but the ones who carry the most weight.

        The guy isn't good enough to deal with any potential locker room fallout IMO.

        Pretty sure the eagles have other guys on the team who can't get open, lack separation ability, and are an average ST player.

        Cooper makes Brian Finneran look like Fred Biletnikoff.

            Why should Chip Kelly and the FO waste anymore time with Cooper?

            A new HC shouldn't be wasting time trying to figure out if a team wants to except a idiot or not. If this was the Patriots Cooper would've been sent packing in a heartbeat.

            NE didn't waste no time with Hernandez and he hasn't been proven guilty yet.

              The same team that brought in Corey Dillon and Ochocinco ? Those patriots ?

              Edit : It's not like he's spending every waking moment trying to decide whether to bring back Riley Cooper, but he's got to at least try to gauge the locker room. Not every player on the team hates Riley Cooper.

                It would be really sad if they can't find a WR (if not two) better than Cooper. It portends a very bad season on the horizon.
