How much did Fletcher Cox earn in his 12 year NFL career?
With the announcement of Eagles legend Fletcher Cox’s retirement, came a groan from the Philadelphia faithful and a round of applause from football fans everywhere. He made that defensive tackle position one to be feared by offenses around the NFL.
A 12-year veteran, Cox won a Super Bowl, was selected All Pro once, the Pro Bowl six times, and was a member of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame All-2010′s Team.
The number 12 overall pick out of Mississippi State has made off very well from his life in the pros. Not everyone who is drafted can say that.
A lot of that is down to his durability. Cox played in exactly 200 NFL games, which included 182 regular-season starts, plus 12 starts in the postseason. Cox finished his career with 70 sacks, 519 tackles and three fumble recoveries for touchdowns.
As a marquee player, Cox made a total of $125,890,246 in his career according to Spotrac. That includes just over $52.8 million in signing bonuses and $21 million in salary. The rest was made up of various bonuses earned for making the roster, restructuring his contract, options and incentives.
A Yazoo City, MS native, Cox is from the third-poorest county in the poorest state in America. Whether he goes home or not, Fletcher Cox is most certainly a success story by any standard. When you look at the rest of Yazoo county, then he has made it to the big time.
