THE EAGLES adjourned until training camp last Thursday with one major piece of business left hanging.
They took care of it Monday evening, when the team announced agreement with defensive tackle Fletcher Cox on a six-year contract. The Eagles provided no details, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported it was for $103 million, with a $63 million guarantee. That's the biggest guarantee in NFL history for anyone who isn't a quarterback, but it's pretty much where observers expected the deal to land.
Cox, 25, made the Pro Bowl last season, is the team's most dominant player and is among the top handful of NFL defensive linemen.
