The Philadelphia Eagles restructured the contract of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox on Friday, but they will not use the added salary-cap space to trade for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, according to league sources.
Cox's new deal will create $6.5 million more of cap space for the Eagles this season and $11.7 million more for next season.
However, even with the newfound cap space, the Eagles have not pursued a trade for Bell and do not have any plans to do so at this time, the sources said.
