On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "a complete non-story that isn't worth 922 words of commentary" and 10 being "total talk-radio, comments-section apoplexy," Fletcher Cox's decision to skip the Eagles' first week of organized team activities is, roughly, a 4.7. It's not nothing, but it's not everything. What it is, primarily, is a bad look for Cox, a player the Eagles signed to a six-year, $103 million contract last year that made him the second-highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL. A player who still carries sizable - and to an extent unfulfilled - expectations. A player for whom perception still matters.
