Eagles, DT Cox agree on six-year deal
PHILADELPHIA – Standout defensive tackle Fletcher Cox agreed Monday to a six-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles that could earn him nine figures.

Cox, 25, did not attend the team’s organized off-season activities, but returned to the teams last week.
He comes off his best NFL season with 104 tackles (80 solo) and 9 1-2 sacks. He had three sacks against New Orleans in Week 5, a career high.
