Fletcher Cox: 'My Contract Will Be Handled Privately'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Fletcher Cox, highly regarded as the Eagles' best player, reported to the NovaCare Complex on Monday.

Cox, 25, missed all of the voluntary offseason workouts.

"I'm happy to be back in Philadelphia to get back to work with my teammates and coaches," Cox said in a statement released by the Eagles on Tuesday. "I'm excited for this upcoming season and I can't wait to get on the field for mini-camp this week, learn our new defense, and do whatever I can to help our team win. Any discussion about my absence from the offseason program or my contract will be handled privately between me, my agent and the Eagles organization."

Cox's agent, Todd France, ripped 94WIP's Howard Eskin on SportsRadio 94WIP in April over a report that Cox turned down $60 million.

The Eagles' mandatory minicamp runs for three days from Tuesday, June 7th through Thursday, June 9th.
