Morgan Fox Fantasy

Free-agent defensive end Morgan Fox signed an undisclosed deal with the Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday, according to his agent, David Canter. Fox will be reuniting with head coach Brandon Staley, who was the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams when Cox had a career-high six sacks in 2020. The 27-year-old pass-rusher spent last season with the Carolina Panthers, recording a career-high 34 tackles (16 solo), but he managed just 1.5 sacks in 17 games (nine starts). Fox could bounce back under Staley with the Bolts, though. He has a total of 103 tackles (66 solo), 16 tackles for loss, 24 QB hits, 12 sacks, four forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 69 career games (15 starts) in five NFL seasons.

The Carolina Panthers signed former Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Morgan Fox to a two-year, $8.1 million deal. Fox will receive $7 million guaranteed. Fox broke out with six sacks in 2020 for the Rams despite being a rotational player at defensive end for a strong Rams defense. He often subbed in for Michael Brockers on the defensive line, playing just 39 percent of the snaps. But Fox still recorded 27 tackles, nine QB hits and eight tackles for loss in addition to his six sacks. Los Angeles will surely be in line for defensive line help after losing both Fox and Brockers. A'Shawn Robinson could fill the void at defensive end, but he's not much of a pass-rusher. Fox joins linebacker Haason Reddick as pass-rushing specialists for a rebuilt Panthers defense.
