Twitter was on fire Monday night after hearing that the Eagles and defensive lineman Fletcher Cox agreed to a mammoth six-year extension. The terms are $103 million over six years with $63 million guaranteed, a league source confirmed to CSNPhilly.com's Reuben Frank (see story).
Vinny Curry and Brandon Graham, Cox’s teammates on the defensive line, tweeted out their congratulations.

Tight end Zach Ertz, who signed a five-year extension in January, and offensive tackle Lane Johnson, who agreed to a six-year deal, sounded pleased about sharing the field with Cox for many years to come.
