A little much for Coop but it's their $$. Word is that they're going to sign Maclin too.
Last I saw, they are only offering a one year deal for Maclin, and they are still far apart on $$. I think that is why they were willing to pay a bit more to keep Cooper. I also think they like his fit in their system.
Like I said it's their $$ but $5M seems a bit high for a #3 WR that few clubs would have wanted around. I do understand that coach likes him and I know that can make a difference. I certainly like him across the field from DeSean.
I think he performed well on the field and did a good job of putting an ugly incident behind him. He is a good fit in the system and $5 mil for a WR2 which is what he has become is not too bad. I do not see Maclin back in Philly unless the market for his services are much lower than he anticipates and takes the comfort of a 1 yr prove it deal in Philly over a similar deal on another team. I think he ends up getting a 3 yr deal from someone.

Was reading somewhere today that Maclin is turning down multi year deals from Philly. It is him that is insisting on a 1 year deal not the Eagles
I figured that. He wants a year to prove he is healthy, in a high gun offense, so his $$ go up at the end of next year. Not a bad risk for him.

1 yr, 6 mil for Maclin
In that offense I wouldn't mind keeping both.
IF Maclin is totally healthy for pre-camp then him. But, since I don't think he will be, I would probably keep Cooper
I roll the dice and go Maclin. Cooper is safer, but I think Maclin has the superior talent and if he can stay healthy could be huge in that offense.
