The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Cooper is due to become a free agent. Per a league source, the man who slid into the starting lineup after Jeremy Maclin tore an ACL in the preseason, will have a significant demand for his services if/when he hits the market.

Diehards Line: As PFT's Mike Florio notes, it’s unclear whether he’ll make it to the market. The Eagles would like to keep him, Florio is told, but receiver DeSean Jackson already is making $10 million a year. As G.M. Howie Roseman has recently said, the situation gets complicated when Jackson is under contract and Cooper and Maclin are due to become free agents. Cooper averaged 17.8 yards per catch in the first year of Chip Kelly’s offense, and Cooper had a career high of 5.4 in the all-important (in Kelly’s offense) of average yards after catch. Given his emergence as a viable receiving threat, it's no surprise he'll draw interest on the open market. If he gets there.
