The Philadelphia Eagles released star defensive tackle Fletcher Cox on Thursday afternoon with a post June 1 designation. They save $18 million with the move, according to reports and the Eagles will work to re-sign Cox to a more team friendly deal.
Cox was selected 12th overall by the Eagles back in 2012 and had a run of dominance that was only outmatched by Rams star Aaron Donald.
Cox, a six-time Pro Bowler and 2018 All-Pro, is free to sign with another team.
Social media reacts to everything and the NFL was definitely shaken up by this transaction.
