PHILADELPHIA - We can all agree that Fletcher Cox at 31 isnt the same as Fletcher Cox at 27.His production, from a numbers standpoint Jamin Davis Jersey , isnt there, but they arent horrible, either.He played 70 snaps against the Washington Commanders, the most hes played since 2020 when he played 74 against Dallas. The previous 70-plus snaps came in 2018, when he went for 79, also against Dallas.It was a workload that got out of hand on Monday, and Cox said his body felt it.You want the truth, I feel like (bleep), he said Wednesday afternoon. It aint a good feeling, but you do whatever you need to do to win the game. Obviously, 70 snaps is 70 snaps, right? I think if we win that game nobody is worrying about snap counts, but at the same time, 70 snaps mean you have to take care of your body and Washington Commanders Jersey be ready to play a game on Sunday.Think about it. We just played on Monday. Im two days removed from a game, so normally two days removed from a game the body is still trying to recover from the game.Cox made seven tackles in those 70 snaps. None of real consequence, granted, but to say hes totally cooked, well, thats where the disagreement enters the conversation.No matter what you, and even me, think, the Eagles dont see it that way.Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon double-downed on Cox during his Thursday morning pre s conference.Hes played extremely well, said Gannon. Hes one of the best box defenders that you could ever ask for and hes super versatile and playing good football for us. When you ask those big guys to play that many Washington Commanders Men Jersey snaps, its hard duty for everybody."Hopefully, hell get his body ready to go for this week, but I do not want to see that again.Getting off the field on third down and stopping the run will help limit those snap counts for Cox as well as Javon Hargrave, who was on the field for 66 of the 83 the defense had to absorb over the 40-plus minutes the Commanders controlled the ball.The number count out of a whack a little bit and thats why we played that many plays and who we had up for that and how they decided to play us, said Gannon. He played a lot of snaps. So did all those guys. I dont like that.Scroll to ContinueIt certainly wont help to keep Cox fresh for the final eight games of the season.He has three sacks, but his last one was on Sept. 25, when he had 1.5 against the Commanders.He has just seven QB hits and 16 QB pre sures.He is nothing like his 2018 season, when he 2as 27 for most of it, when he had a career-high 10.5 sacks with 34 QB hits and 61 QB pre Charley Taylor Jersey sures.He hasnt come close to reaching those totals since, but Kendall Fuller Jersey that is to be expected as a player ages.He is still effective enough to play a role on this team.Next year? Maybe not.Cox still has value in the locker room as an esteemed veteran, and thats a difficult role to quantify.Is it worth the $14 million GM Howie Roseman paid to bring him back this year?Probably not, but Roseman has been known to develop a sentimental attachment to certain players and Cox has been one of this franchises all-time best players since he was drafted 12th overall in 2012.Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, and the Eagles like what they see, perhaps enough to bring him back next year at a lower price. Say around $7M, give or take.
