    The Riley Cooper era in Philadelphia is over.

    The Eagles announced they released the wide receiver Monday, the first day teams can cut players.

    Cooper signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with $8 million guaranteed in 2014. The contract, given under former coach Chip Kelly's watch, was controversial at the time after Cooper was forced to apologize for using a racial slur the previous season.

    The Eagles will save $2.9 million on the cap by jettisoning Cooper, while incurring $2.4 million in dead money.
