This season’s been quite the emotional rollercoaster with all the goodbyes. And now the Philadelphia Eagles are feeling the sting once more as Fletcher Cox has decided to hang up his cleats. Sure, it might not have the same pomp as Jason Kelce’s farewell, but there’s no doubt Cox leaving is a big deal for the team.

Cox took to social media this Sunday to share his decision. He capped off an impressive 12 years, all with the Eagles. Making it to the Pro Bowl six times and being a foundational piece of the defense, his choice to retire has definitely sent some ripples through the Eagles fan base and beyond. And it’s not just Eagles fans who will miss the stalwart. Travis Kelce also was a big fan of Cox and expressed his desire to share the field with him.

Travis Kelce’s big regret

In the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce confessed a big regret that he carried with him. “That’s like, Man, I would love to play with that guy. He’s just seems like a f**king force and a motivated individual man.”

He didn’t stop there. Travis was all praise for Jason’s teammate. “Hell of a f**king guy, man who’s one of my favorite guys to run into in the family room whenever I go to Philly games, or just be around during the day and all the Pro Bowl and, and NFL activities, man, such a good dude. And he’s definitely one of those guys.”

As Fletcher hangs up his cleats, let’s take a look at his illustrious career.

Fletcher Cox’s mark on the Eagles

At 33, after a dozen seasons and a Super Bowl LII victory with the Eagles under his belt, he’s decided it’s time to close this chapter. Cox expressed his gratitude to everyone. From the team’s leadership to his own family, and had a special shoutout for the Eagles fans. Known for their intensity, Cox said, “I fulfilled a lifelong dream by making it to the NFL. But what I didn’t know at the time was how much of an honor and privilege it would be to represent the city of Philadelphia and the Eagles organization for the next 12 seasons.”

Retiring as one of the Eagles’ most lauded defensive ends, Cox has a laundry list of accolades. These include a first-team All-Pro nod in 2018, three second-team All-Pro honors, six Pro Bowl selections, and a spot on the NFL’s all-decade team for the 2010s. With 70 career sacks, he ranks fifth in Eagles history, and his 188 regular-season games are a franchise record for a player.

But stats aside, Cox was known for his versatility on the field. He was equally skilled at halting the run as he was at hunting quarterbacks. And Cox wasn’t just chasing sacks. He was there to play the game in its entirety, a rarity in a sport often focused on highlight-reel moments.

With two key players gone, the Eagles will be looking to fill in the void during the upcoming free agency and April Draft.
