Eagles agree to re-sign Fletcher Cox to one-year

Fletcher Cox’s brief, bizarre stint on the market has come to an end.

The Eagles announced Saturday morning they’ve agreed to a one-year contract with the veteran defensive tackle, roughly a day and a half after they released Cox in a surprisingly unceremonious fashion.

The two sides tried to agree on a renegotiation before Thursday’s release, but couldn’t find common ground before Cox was due $18 million for next season. There was reportedly momentum for Cox, 31, to return even once he was cut.

It’s rare to see a team sign a player a few days after jettisoning them, and it’s not totally clear how much the Eagles gained by doing so. Cox’s new salary is expected to have a max worth of around $14 million, which is less than he was owed on the previous deal and an Eagles source said the release would save the team about $2 million in cap space after Cox’s release.
