NFL REPORT: Just In – Head Coach Nick Sirianni Announces the Departure of Another Key Player
In breaking news that’s sending shockwaves through the NFL, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has officially announced the departure of yet another key player from the team’s roster. During a press conference earlier today, Sirianni confirmed that veteran defensive lineman Fletcher Cox will not return for the 2025 season, citing mutual agreement between the player and the organization.
“This was a tough decision,” Sirianni said. “Fletch has been a leader for this team, both on and off the field. We respect everything he’s done for the Eagles and support him in whatever comes next.”
Cox, a six-time Pro Bowler and one of the most dominant interior linemen of the past decade, has been a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s defense since being drafted in 2012. His departure marks a significant shift in the team’s defensive identity, especially following the earlier exits of other veterans during the offseason.
While Sirianni didn’t specify Cox’s next move, rumors are swirling that the 34-year-old could either sign with a Super Bowl-contending team in need of veteran leadership or consider retirement.
The Eagles are expected to rely more heavily on younger talent such as Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter to fill the void. Still, losing Cox — both in terms of performance and locker room presence — is a major blow.
This latest departure raises questions about the team’s long-term strategy and signals a potential rebuilding phase. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching how the Eagles respond and retool their defense ahead of the 2025 season. One thing is clear: Nick Sirianni and his staff are making bold moves that could reshape the future of the franchise.
