Six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox turned down more lucrative offers,according to ESPN, and is returning to the Eagles on a one-year, $10 million deal.
He becomes the third prominent member of the Eagles’ defense to re-sign with team, joining cornerback James Bradberry and defensive end Brandon Graham. Still, the Eagles will have a completely new look on defense in 2023 as starters Javon Hargrave (San Francisco 49ers), T.J. Edwards (Chicago Bears) and Marcus Epps (Las Vegas Raiders) have agreed to sign elsewhere, and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is a free agent.
In addition, the Eagles plan to release five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay after an agreement could not be reached on a restructured contract.
