Blinksportsnews247The Cleveland Browns will be seeking to improve throughout the offseason after losing to the Houston Texans 45-14 in the Wild Card Round. Their defensive line, where Myles Garrett needs more support, is one area they may be trying to strengthen.
Veteran defensive lineman Fletcher Cox is one player Cleveland may seek. Cox has been a member of the Philadelphia Eagles for the duration of his career thus far. But according to CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin, it could be time for Cox to start again.
From Benjamin
“Having just completed his twelfth season with the Eagles, Cox is an avid fan of the team. In addition, he appeared revitalized during a depressing 2023 defense. But in Philly, it’s time to turn the page. “How about getting together with Jim Schwartz, an old friend?”
Given that Cox has spent the last ten or more years being associated with Eagles football, it would be odd to see him in a different outfit.
In the first round (12th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft, Philadelphia chose Cox. Ever since, he’s made it his duty to make sure they didn’t look back on their choice. Cox was selected for four All-Pro teams and has been selected to the Pro Bowl six times. In addition, he was selected to the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade Team. In 2018, he contributed to the Eagles’ historic first-ever Super Bowl victory.
Prior to choosing his team for the upcoming season, Cox must determine whether or not to pursue a career in football. While there have been rumblings about the veteran tackle’s potential retirement, Cox told reporters in Las Vegas that he hasn’t made up his mind. “I’m just taking it day-by-day,” Cox said of his future, “No decisions have been made for me. I’m just taking to day-by-day and wherever it falls, it falls. Definitely happy to be playing in Philly. This year was definitely fun.” Despite his age, Cox, 33, remains a productive player, so it will be interesting to see what he ultimately chooses to do.
