Daily News | Eagles release Fletcher Cox, though it’s possible the free agent returns to the team
The news broke just before a 4 p.m. deadline that would have guaranteed $18 million to the defensive tackle, but it wasn’t until two hours later that the team officially announced that it had cut one of the best players in franchise history.
The Eagles may try to sign Cox at a lower number, but the 31-year-old is now a free agent for the first time in his career and can negotiate with other teams. And he can take less than the Eagles offer, if he wants, after earning almost the full amount of the roughly $100 million contract he signed in June 2016.But how many teams will be interested, and at what cost? Cox was available before the trade deadline in October and again leading up to his eventual release, sources said.
Cox was 24 years old and an ascending player at the time of his extension, but the deal held up, and Roseman restructured it several times to create cap space by pushing guaranteed money into future years.
