Chargers signed CB Derek Cox, formerly of the Jaguars, to a three-year contract.

One of the better young cover corners in football, Cox signed with the Bolts before making a scheduled trip to New Orleans. He was drawing interest from all around the league. Cox has picked off four passes in three of his first four NFL campaigns, but has also missed three or more games each of the past three seasons. He should specialize in press coverage in new DC DC John Pagano's system.

An "industry source" tells the Florida Times Union free agent CB Derek Cox will likely command a deal worth roughly $24 million over four years.

So $6 million annually. The "industry source" is presumably someone who knows about NFL contracts, has a grasp of Cox's value, and isn't his agent. The Bucs, Redskins, and Jaguars are each known to have at least some interest in Cox.

Cox has seen his market heat up over the weekend. He has now been linked to the Bolts, Bucs, and Redskins, while the Jaguars haven't given up on him. Cox has ideal size at 6-foot-1, 190 for Chargers DC John Pagano's press defense.

The Jaguars have reached out to free agent CB Derek Cox.

Despite ample salary cap space, Jacksonville does not plan to be a big free agent bidder. GM David Caldwell may be sensing, however, that Cox's price tag will be affordable. By all appearances, Cox is in for a solid pay day from our view. The Buccaneers and Redskins have both been strongly linked.
