Chip Kelly doesn't regret not cutting Riley Cooper

After a number of former players alleged their release from the Eagles may have been racially motivated, head coach Chip Kelly says he doesn't regret not releasing wide reciever Riley Cooper.

Cooper had to formally apologize after a 2013 video showed him shouting a racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert that summer. Kelly noted on Tuesday that "there could be" a connection between the comments and feelings of former black players and the fact that Cooper was not released.

And awarded a five-year, $22.5 million contract to boot for what could be described as an average receiving talent.

Running back LeSean McCoy said that Kelly "got rid of all the black players -- the good ones" in May after being traded to the Bills and cornerback Brandon Boykin said he felt Kelly is "uncomfortable around grown men of our culture" a day after being traded to the Steelers.

Boykin later re-worded his comments, saying that the coach was a hard man to speak to in general. 

"I don't spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to connect X to Y to Z and all those other things," Kelly said on Tuesday. "We have other things that we need to take care of."
