Cox (first 4 years) 57 starts, 162 tackles, 22.5 sacks, 5 FF, 6 FR
Suh (first 4 years) 62 starts, 135 tackles, 27.5 sacks, 2 FF, 1 FR

Bad take: Eagles paid too much.
26 year-old, All-Pro type DTs get paid like this. PHI probably paid for peak production given age & system.
— Noah Becker (@Noah_Becker) June 13, 2016
Cox is definitely a "just make him happy" type of player. Potential to be dominant the next few years.
— EaglesRewind (@EaglesRewind) June 13, 2016
Difference between paying Cox that cash and a typical big $$ FA is Cox won't be 26 until December. Prime money for prime years is cool w/ me

if you're complaining about the $ Fletcher Cox got, then you didn't really want him extended b/c this is a bargain at best and fair at worst
— Dan (@dklausner) June 13, 2016
I mean, you have to realize Fletcher Cox will play this season at age 25 (turns 26 in December). Extension is for duration of his prime.
— Dan (@dklausner) June 13, 2016
"Highest paid non-QB" stuff came out within seconds of deal announcement. Clearly the agent feeding that angle. Good deal for Eagles, IMO.
— Jimmy Kempski (@JimmyKempski) June 13, 2016
Cox's deal is right in line with what other elite interior defensive linemen have made in recent years.
— Jimmy Kempski (@JimmyKempski) June 13, 2016
Cox really was playing out of position in 3-4...in "wide-9" he'll set career-highs in sacks and other categories. https://t.co/TeEtQ09Tcu

I like taking care of Cox now for one big reason -- Gonna be a monster as a 3-tech in Schwartz's D. Likely would be much pricier in '17.

This offseason, Eagles have locked up Fletcher Cox, Zach Ertz, Vinny Curry, Malcolm Jenkins, Lane Johnson. All signed thru (at least) 2020.
