20dawk4life Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Heard they’re trying to bring him back already. Needed to cut him before 4 so his 18 million wouldn’t be guaranteed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike030270 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 So a team could essentially scoop him up with a better contract and a chance to contend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utebird Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Not shocked or surprised If he leaves without anything In return then Howie kept him for too long when the previous year he could have traded him for something. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20dawk4life Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I’m calling it now. We cut Cox to lower his cap hit so we can trade for Deshaun Watson!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesteakitis Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 i don’t think any of the cap people had this in their notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberTheKoy Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 End of an era. Not the same player anymore though. Surprised to see Brandon Graham outlast him though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We save 2 million His cap hit was 14.9 million, being a post June 1st release his dead cap is 12.8 million. Saves us 2.1 million this year.

Cheesteakitis Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 In a cost-cutting move, the Eagles have released a mainstay of their defense. The team has released defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network (Twitter link). He adds that Cox is being designated as a post-June 1st cut. The reason for the release’s timing is due to the fact that at 4:00 PM EST, $18MM of the compensation he was owed – nearly the entire amount – would have become fully guaranteed. Cutting him in this way creates over $12.8MM in dead money, while creating $2.1MM in cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleTen Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Of course...it's the 2023 cap that takes the $15m hit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglePhan1986 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Interesting just for $2.1mil in cap space. I know he’s not elite anymore but not like there’s going to be anyone available who can replace his presence. Maybe there’s a trade for a young DT in the works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin said Slay is telling other players to not even try to recruit Cox to their team. How much money he’s gets I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayanh8 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Had to do it. His production doesn't justify what it would have cost to keep him on the team. Maybe he's back on a new deal. Who knows. Wouldn't bother me much either way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 He is in decline anyway. Replace him with a draft pick, or re-sign him and get this last year out of him, because he is seriously playing some underwhelming ball. TY, Fletch, but time waits for nobody, and it won't wait for you. Let's see what the plan is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolg Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Interesting. The Eagles must think he's overpaid and want to restructure the deal. I wonder if there's a market for Cox? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
