Source: Eagles, Riley Cooper agree

— -- The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to new contracts with wide receiver Riley Cooper, according a league source, and starting center Jason Kelce, his agent confirmed.

Cooper, a pending free agent, has a new five-year deal worth $25 million, a league source said.

The contract caps quite the comeback for Cooper, who was captured last summer using a racial slur. Cooper played well in 2013 and parlayed it into a payday few expected him to achieve last summer.

Cooper was a special teams player and spot starter for his first three seasons. He made the most of his opportunity to starter after Jeremy Maclin tore an ACL in training camp last summer. Cooper caught 47 passes for 835 yards and eight touchdowns.

He made unfortunate headlines last summer when a video of him using a racial epithet at a concert surfaced on the Internet. Cooper was fined and had to apologize to his teammates, many of whom acknowledged it was difficult to accept him back in the locker room at first.

Except for one training-camp fight with cornerback Cary Williams, the incident did not resurface during the season.

Kelce agreed to a 6-year, $37.5 million contract extension, with $13 million guaranteed, according to agent Jason Bernstein of XAM Sports.

The deal runs through 2020 and carries a max value of $40.1 million. Kelce's deal puts him within the top-5 centers in the NFL on an average per year basis. 

Bernstein said it is the first extension completed for a player from the 2011 draft class, the first class under the new collective bargaining agreement, which doesn't allow extensions before the completion of the player's third season.

Kelce, a sixth-round pick, won a starting job as a rookie and has started every game for which he has been available.

Despite suffering a torn ACL during the second game of the 2012 season, the interior offensive lineman quickly has become one of the top young centers in the NFL. By 2013, with new coach Chip Kelly in charge, Kelce was back as the anchor and signal caller for the offensive line. He was named the Eagles' Ed Block Courage Award winner for 2013.

The Eagles are still hoping to re-sign Maclin before free agency starts on March 11, but the deal is not close to being completed. Both sides are talking but a deal is not within reach, according to two sources.

The team signed starting left tackle Jason Peters to a five-year extension on Wednesday.
