From the article

Cooper had a great camp and an encouraging preseason showing as an undrafted rookie receiver out of Tarleton State last season. He made the 53-man roster and managed to stay on it the entire season, appearing in 13 games. He made 9 receptions for 92 yards on 11 targets, while playing something of a 'dirty work' role in the Eagles offense after Johnny Wilson was lost for the season with an injury.

Cooper faces trade block after Eagles upgraded WR depth with Lemon, Wicks, and Brown.

Cooper, an undrafted rookie WR out of Tarleton State, made the 53-man roster and appeared in 13 games with 9 receptions for 92 yards on 11 targets, playing a 'dirty work' role after Johnny Wilson's injury. However, the Eagles have significantly upgraded their receiver depth with first-round pick Makai Lemon, trade acquisition Dontayvion Wicks, and free agent Hollywood Brown, plus Wilson's return. Cooper is now among trade candidates heading into training camp, with Makai Lemon noting he could make more sense for a non-contending team willing to develop a young prospect.
