Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox has announced his retirement from the NFL after a distinguished 12-season career with the team. Cox, renowned for his defensive prowess, accumulated 70 career sacks, earned six Pro Bowl selections, was named a 1st Team All-Pro in 2018, and was a four-time All-Pro. He was also a member of the 2010s all-decade team and ranks No. 5 in sacks in franchise history, the most among defensive tackles. Cox played a pivotal role in the Eagles' Super Bowl LII victory, cementing his legacy as one of the franchise's greats. His retirement, closely following fellow Eagles legend Jason Kelce, marks the end of an era for the team. Cox's departure leaves a significant void in the Eagles' defensive line and impacts the team's finances, with $14.3M left of cap space, a potential gain of $1.5M in space for 2024, and $10.1M in 2025, alongside $14.3M in dead money and a loss of $8.6M in cap space.

I remember watching prospects back in 2012. I became infatuated a kid from Mississippi State named Fletcher Cox. The Eagles drafted him and Cox went on to have an amazing career. One of the all-time great Eagles. Thanks for a lot of great memories.
