Fletcher Cox Fantasy

Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox officially reached an agreement to re-sign with the Philadelphia Eagles for one year, according to a source. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the deal is worth $14 million. The Eagles released the veteran pass-rusher on Thursday for salary cap purposes, but the two sides quickly came to a deal to reunite for the 2022 season. Cox was originally scheduled to make $18 million this year. The 31-year-old made six straight Pro Bowls from 2015-20, and although he fell off a bit last year, he can still be an effective pass-rusher for the Eagles. Cox has been in Philadelphia for 10 years and has racked up 58 sacks in 156 career games. He's not much of an option in IDP leagues after getting 3.5 sacks in two of the last three seasons.

The Philadelphia Eagles released defensive lineman Fletcher Cox in a cost-saving move on Thursday, but the team has made progress on bringing him back. The two sides have discussed a one-year deal that would guarantee $14 million. The six-time Pro Bowler over 10 seasons in Philly previously had an $18 million salary that would have become fully guaranteed on Thursday. Cox was a first-round pick by the Eagles back in 2012 and has been a cornerstone of their defense ever since. The 31-year-old has a total of 443 tackles and 58 sacks while forcing 14 fumbles in 156 career games. Cox has shown some decline in recent years with just 4.5 sacks a year since 2019, but he can still be a solid interior defensive line presence.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released veteran defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. The move was made with a post-June 1 designation. The 31-year-old was a first round pick of the Eagles back in 2012 and he has been a cornerstone of the team's defense ever since. Over 156 career games, he's compiled 443 tackles and 58 sacks while forcing 14 fumbles. There has been some speculation that Cox may return to the Eagles on a restructured deal. Cox had been the source of trade rumors prior to his release, so the Eagles' move to release him is a bit of a head scratcher unless the franchise is planning something else.
