The Tampa Bay Times is "pretty certain" the Bucs have been in contact with free agent CB Derek Cox. No team has a bigger need at cornerback than the Bucs, and they figure to leave no stone unturned in free agency. They've reportedly reached out to free agent Sean Smith. Cox would be cheaper.

The Florida Times Union confirms the Redskins are among the teams "expected to be interested" in free agent CB Derek Cox. The Washington Examiner floated the Cox idea earlier in the day. We'd add Denver as a second potential landing spot for Cox. Former Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio now coordinates the Broncos' defense and needs a bookend for Champ Bailey.

The Washington Examiner's John Keim passes along free agent CB Derek Cox as a "name to keep an eye on" for the Redskins this weekend. Cox played college ball at William & Mary in Virginia, and the Redskins will have a cornerback need whether or not they release DeAngelo Hall. (We suspect they will.) Cox is young (26) and an effective enough cover corner to command a multi-year deal. Hall would have to be cut for the Skins to afford Cox.

According to the Florida Times Union, the Jaguars want free agent CB Derek Cox back, but "only at the right price." It's an indication Cox won't be back in Jacksonville, as his agent is on the record as expecting a "vigorous" market. Cox is worthy of a nice payday, but could find his market depressed by the glut of available corners.

Free agent CB Derek Cox's agent expects a "vigorous market" for his client's services. Cox's agent, David Sullivan, and the Jaguars will meet at the Combine on Saturday. If Cox can stay healthy, he's a fine player. He battled hamstring and back injuries in 2012, forcing him to miss four games. Cox is currently slated as Rotoworld's No. 7 free-agent corner.

Jaguars GM David Caldwell said the team will not franchise-tag free agent CB Derek Cox. The team will meet with Cox's agent at the Combine, though, in hopes of retaining him. Cox has proven to be a fine player when he's on the field, but he's failed to play all 16 games in each of the past three years. Cox checks in as our No. 7 free-agent corner in a deep class.

According to the Florida Times Union, "indications are" the Jaguars won't use the franchise tag. Beat writer Ryan O'Halloran believes the Jags should use the tag as a "prove it" mechanism for free agent CB Derek Cox, but has apparently been told it's unlikely. The $10.7 million Cox would bring home under the tag would be a gargantuan sum for a player who toed the line between liability and asset last season.

Derek Cox (hamstring) returned to the starting lineup in Sunday's loss to the Jets. Cox ends up missing just one game with his latest nick. He was called pass interference twice and forced his first career fumble. The contract-year corner has missed 14 games over the last two seasons.

Jaguars RCB Derek Cox (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Bills. Injury prone entering his contract year, Cox has been unable to stay off the shelf yet again this season.
