And two. After Jason Kelce at the start of the week, another Eagles legend is bowing out. Fletcher Cox announced on Instagram this Sunday the end of a 12-year adventure with the Philadelphia franchise. The team immediately praised the career of its player on X.
Drafted 12th overall in 2012, Cox has been a part of the team from the start, impressing with consistency with only a handful of missed matches (7 in 12 years!). Creator of the title in 2017, he was also one of the spearheads of the 2022 campaign ending at the Super Bowl.
Multiple Pro Bowler, 4 times All Pro, the 33-year-old defensive tackle ends a career punctuated by 519 tackles including 70 sacks and 16 forced fumbles. A huge part of Eagles history comes to an end this week. Two gaping holes to fill in the trenches.
A great franchise. Thank you, Fletcher Cox đź‘Ź
