Chiefs’ Chris Jones Sends 2-Word Message To Eagles’ Fletcher Cox
Chris Jones, a star for the Kansas City Chiefs, sent fellow former Mississippi State Bulldog Fletcher Cox a succinct but impactful message.
Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated the career of one of his rivals the day after he signed a record-
breaking five-year contract worth up to $95 million. On March 4, Jason Kelce, the brother of Chiefs player Travis
Kelce, announced his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles after 13 seasons.
Fletcher Cox, the defensive tackle for the Eagles, joins Kelce in retiring less than a week later. Jones had a
straightforward message for his fellow graduate from Mississippi State.
Jones wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “Much respect!! @fcoxx_91,” referencing an NFL statement that revealed Cox’s decision on March 10.
Two years prior to Jones’ start, Cox’s Bulldogs stint came to an end.
After playing for the Eagles for his entire 12-year NFL career, Cox retires as a six-time Pro Bowler, one-time All-Pro,
and 2017 Super Bowl champion. Jones and he also engaged in four “head-to-head” matches. Including Super Bowl
LVII, Jones is 3-1 versus his fellow former Bulldog. In Week 11 of the previous season, Cox recorded his first victory in five games against the Chiefs.
After making his declaration, Jones had an even more straightforward message for Kelce: he shared a video of the
Eagles star yelling his name and then shaking hands with an emoji.
