Eagles Twitter reacts (pretty positively) to Riley Cooper’s release

We’re not exactly breaking any news by admitting that Riley Cooper wasn’t the most popular Eagle. One of his teammates last season sent him a nice going-away message, though:

@RileyCooper_14 you will always be family ✊🏾✊🏻

Still, it’s safe to say that Philadelphia Eagles fans are almost unanimously happy that Cooper was released earlier today:

The entirety of #Eagles Twitter is hand in hand like they're singing "We Are the World".... pic.twitter.com/I0bfYGmGQG

When you're so contrarian by nature you don't even know what you're saying anymore https://t.co/fEwrBZWMeW

Cooper was wrong to do what he did, but I wanted him gone for TALENT reasons regardless.

The Eagles cutting Riley Cooper was a move that everyone saw coming from miles (austin) away.

In retrospect, the Riley Cooper incident was all we needed to know about Chip Kelly.

Riley Cooper being let go is years too late, but I’m thankful that dude is no longer on my favorite team. Good riddance

#GoodbyeRiley Low-hanging fruit, of course, but glad to see Howie hitting the easy pitches to start this era. #MixedSportsMetaphors
