It’s an offseason of change for the Eagles, who will have another set of big shoes to fill in 2024 with Fletcher Cox, joining Jason Kelce, announcing he has decided to retire from the NFL after 12 seasons in Philly.
The writing was seemingly on the wall following the Eagles postseason loss back in January, with Jordan Davis alluding to Cox not returning, and the veteran DT cleaning out every inch of his locker. Now, we know it’s official.
Cox thanked the Eagles organization, including Jeffery Lurie and Howie Roseman, Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni — while subtly omitting Chip Kelly from that list — and talked about how special it was to realize his dream of playing in the NFL, and for Philly.
