Cox showed little signs of slowing down in his 11th season, anchoring an Eagles defense that led the NFL in fewest yards allowed per play (4.8) in 2022. His 32-year-old legs needed a bit more rest than normal, as his snap share dipped for a fourth straight year to 64.6 percent, his lowest mark since his rookie 2012 campaign, but it translated to better per-play production and similar year-end numbers. His seven sacks were the third highest of his career and most since 2018, while his 43 tackles were his best since that same season. Age comes for all players, so Cox could decline any time now, but he's shown few signs that the cliff is approaching.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could retire this offseason
Cox may have played his last NFL game and could announce his retirement later this offseason, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Long-time Eagles center Jason Kelce announced his retirement Monday, and his counterpart as the heart of the Philadelphia defense could soon join him. Cox has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Eagles, and while his snap count has shrunk of late, the 33-year-old defensive tackle still racked up 5.0 sacks in 15 games last year.
