The Eagles are in the hunt for a wild card playoff birth, and even as the team starts preparation for a matchup with the Chargers, teams from around the league are inquiring about landing star defensive tackle Fletcher Cox in a deal.
Jay Glazer’s report follows an earlier report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who first reported that AFC organization had taken interest.
The Eagles restructured Cox’s contract this offseason, but a trade would leave a huge dead cap hit for Philadelphia, so the compensation would have to be outstanding.
Through 8 starts this season, Cox has 12 tackles, a sack, four quarterback hits, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown, while helping Javon Hargrave get out to a historic start as well.
Here are a few takeaways from the news.
