Cox, 33, played 12 NFL seasons after the Eagles selected him in the first round of the 2012 draft.

In 2023, Cox produced 33 tackles, five sacks, 17 quarterback hits, and three tackles for loss, remaining a steady force as an interior pass rusher.

Cox will exit with 348 solo tackles, 164 assists, 69.5 sacks, and 14 fumble recoveries. He has been selected to six Pro Bowls and has won a Super Bowl.

Report: Eagles’ Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce are leaning toward retirement

Jeff McLane of The Inquirer is reporting that Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce are leaning towards retirement

The Eagles have already undergone drastic changes to the coaching staff, and with 20+ turnovers, there’s also expected to be a dramatic roster turnover.

Philadelphia’s roster has two future Hall of Famers who appear ready to walk away from the game for good.

According to Jeff McLane of The Inquirer, Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce are leaning toward retirement.

“I still think Jason is leaning towards retirement. Obviously, he will take some time and think about it. The same applies to Fletcher Cox. He has not said anything, but other players have, and from what I am hearing behind the scenes he is probably leaning towards retirement as well.”

Adam Schefter had previously reported that Kelce was leaning toward retirement during the final minutes of the Eagles wild-card loss to the Buccaneers.
