Eagles' Fletcher Cox has earned huge deal
A COUPLE beads of sweat topped his forehead and a huge grin was impossible to hide.
Meet Fletcher Cox, Eagles star defensive tackle and the richest man ever to come out of tiny Yazoo City, Mississippi.
"It's mind-blowing," Cox said of the six-year, $103 million contract he signed on Thursday. "When you're dealing with that much money, it's really mind-blowing, and I'm really excited about it."
Ya think?
Cox, the best athlete currently playing in Philadelphia, reportedly received a $26 million signing bonus with $63 million of the deal guaranteed. He is signed through the 2022 season, and he's worth it.
