The former Florida Gators wide receiver was in a private area with Jason Kelce when Cooper got mad at something. He then points at the crowd, and a camera, and says the following something he would regret.
“I will jump that fence and fight every n*gger here, bro,” Cooper said.
Cooper completed his third season with the Eagles in 2012. The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma native, who was the team’s fifth-round draft pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, appeared in 11 games with five starts.
He had 23 receptions for 248 yards and three touchdowns.

“I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself,” Cooper said on Twitter. “I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, Jeffrey Lurie, Howie Roseman, and my teammates. I owe an apology to the fans and to this community. I am so ashamed, but there are no excuses. What I did was wrong and I will accept the consequences.”
