Eagles DT Fletcher Cox retires

[JohnsKey19]

Tip of the cap. Great career.

Eagles getting younger . It’s a two team race in the East . For the right to early playoff elimination

Younger doesn’t necessarily mean better. It may not be easy replacing Cox and Kelce.

Thank you, LORD! That dude has been a painful thorn in the Cowboy's side for way too many seasons!

If he was that great he wouldn't be scared of T.J. Bass.

Good, good player. Always loved his big play celebration.

Is this an Eagles forum

Another devastating loss for the Eagles. We should be heavy favorites to win the division next year.

I still am rueing the trade up for CB Clairborn....couldve had F.Cox
Rueing....rueing

Heck of a player and career.

Kelce then Cox.
2 very good players for the Iggles.
Have a good retirement Mr. Cox, you were a helluva player.

It’s not just that though. Reddick and Sweat are seeking trades?

Neither player is seeking a trade. Reddick is on record that he wants to stay here and is the happiest he has been in years. He just wants a new deal. The Eagles are the aggressor in trading him. They clearly don’t want to pay him what he wants.

Good player, wish we could have had one of him.

And I’m sure Reddick is ecstatic about not getting a deal lol. Please lol.

Unlike Philly, Jerry is more than willing to overpay players.

I don't think anything scared Cox, the dude was a Cowboy disrupter for many seasons. I'm sure the Cowboys were hoping he would retire years ago, but the dude kept coming back, but now they can rest easy that he won't be around anymore...............LOL!

Cox retiring and center Kelce retiring hmmm. Something is floating around that locker room and players have had enough. Both of those guys can still play. Eagles are also shopping other defensive players.

Just know when to give it up while healthy. Both already got their ring and got paid. There is nothing more for them to prove.

 

[Blue&Silver]

He was a great player for them in his day. He was still producing as the 3rd DT in their rotation over the last couple years. They'll miss him even though he wasn't a starter anymore.

They probably got wind of pay cuts coming down the pike and decided to quit before they were asked to take one.
