Sad News: Eagles Sign A Talented QB For Replacement…..
The Philadelphia Eagles finished the regular season with an 11-6 record and lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.
Their defense underachieved this season compared to last season. In 2022, they ranked 8th in points, 3rd in total yards, and 1st in sacks.
In 2023, they ranked 30th in points, 26th in total yards, and 20th in sacks.
Philadelphia is trying to boost their sack numbers for the 2024 season by signing a former 3rd-round pick.
When you play your entire career for one franchise, we’d imagine it would be hard to even consider putting on another team’s uniform. While it happens every year in every sport, this offseason we could see the Philadelphia Eagles lose one of their most recognizable players via free agency.
Twelve years after becoming the 12th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox may have played his final down with the only pro team he’s ever known. He has just one year left on his contract and has a reasonable cap hit of $5.7 million.

With the Eagles investing heavily in the trenches in recent draft classes by selecting Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter, it appears Philadelphia doesn’t have a huge need for Cox to stick around too, at least not in a featured role.
While Cox, 33, is getting a bit up there in age, he likely still has at least a couple more productive seasons left in the tank, yet it may not be in Philadelphia.
During a recent appearance on Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive tackle and recent NFL Man of the Year award winner Cam Heyward’s podcast, Cox was asked which team he’d like to play for, if not the Eagles.
Cox didn’t hesitate to state that he’d like to play with the Steelers, where he’d get to team up with Heyward
