Longtime Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox is retiring from the NFL, according to an Instagram post by the 2012 first-round pick. Cox spent his entire 12-year career with the Eagles and never played in fewer than 14 games in a season. He was named to six Pro Bowls and four All-Pro teams during his stellar career. Overall, the 33-year-old tallied 519 tackles, 70 sacks, 16 forced fumbles, 17 passes defended, and 51.5 run stuffs in 188 games. Cox played the most snaps of any Eagles' interior defensive lineman in 2023 (684), so his retirement leaves a big hole to fill moving forward.
