Per Jordan Schultz, Fletcher Cox is receiving plenty of trade interest from the Bills, Steelers, and Chargers according to league sources. The Cardinals are out of the mix due to budget constraints.
Fantasy Impact
Cox has been a mainstay for the Eagles for the last decade. The 31-year-old veteran is currently fifth on the Eagles all-time sack list with 58 sacks. According to Jordan Schultz, trading the long-time Eagle would result in a $40M dead cap hit. This means the Eagles would need a nice return on investment from the interested parties. The Bills, Steelers, and Chargers defensive lines would all become a little scarier with the addition of the six-time Pro Bowler.
