Back in March, six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox re-signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year, $10 million contract, bringing him back to Philly for a 12th consecutive season in midnight green.
However, it was reported that the New York Jets also made an aggressive pursuit for Cox, with some reports even indicating that New York was willing to offer Cox more money.
Fletcher Cox back to the #Eagles on a one-year, $10 million deal, as @AdamSchefter said. The #Jets were willing to go higher, but Cox wanted to stay in Philly for another season.
