Fletcher Cox admits he almost signed with NY Jets

Back in March, six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox re-signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year, $10 million contract, bringing him back to Philly for a 12th consecutive season in midnight green.

However, it was reported that the New York Jets also made an aggressive pursuit for Cox, with some reports even indicating that New York was willing to offer Cox more money.
