So, Fletcher Cox just got paid. The Eagles’ star defensive lineman inked a well-deserved six-year contract extension that reportedly includes $63 million guaranteed. This means Cox, who did report to minicamp without a new deal last week after skipping voluntary workouts, will be a happy camper once training camp rolls around.
WHAT A TIME..!!!!! #flyeaglesfly
