The Falcons released Fox on Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Falcons in March after spending the last three seasons with the Chargers. He was competing for a rotational role at defensive end and finished the preseason with four tackles (two solo), but he won't be part of the Falcons' plans moving forward. Fox will explore his next options and should be able to catch on with a team looking for a veteran defensive end.

Fox signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Falcons on Friday, Matt Urben of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox spent the last three years with the Chargers and played in every single regular-season game over that span. He finished the 2024 campaign with 27 tackles (19 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 17 regular-season games. Fox bolsters the Falcons' defensive-line rotation, and his addition should help mitigate the sting of losing Pro Bowler Grady Jarrett to the Bears in free agency.

Fox had 3.5 sacks among his 27 tackles (19 solo) and added one pass defensed in the 2024 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Fox dressed for all 17 regular-season games but started only three. He added two tackles (one solo) in the Chargers' wild-card round playoff exit against the Texans. The 30-year-old defensive lineman is set to be an unrestricted free agent after spending the past three seasons with the Chargers.

Fox recorded two solo tackles, both of which were sacks, in the Chargers' 20-17 loss to the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

EDGE Analysis

Fox extended his sack streak to four consecutive games Monday, taking down quarterback Dak Prescott twice in the loss. The defensive end has now compiled five sacks on the season, all of which have come during his streak. Fox will look to make it five straight in Week 7 versus the Chiefs.

The Chargers re-signed Fox on Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox recorded career highs in tackles (38) and sacks (6.5) while playing every regular season game during his first campaign with the Chargers in 2022. The 27-year-old defensive lineman has not missed a game since returning from a torn ACL suffered during OTAs with the Rams in 2018. He's also seen his overall production increase year-over-year while going from the Rams to the Panthers to the Chargers over the past four seasons. Fox will now look to maintain his starting role while on a new two-year on contract with the Bolts, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Fox finished the 2022-23 season with 38 tackles (24 solo), 6.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss.

EDGE Analysis

Fox had the best season of his career setting new highs in both total tackles and sacks. The 28-year-old finished second on the team in sacks and tied for fourth in tackles for loss despite playing only 55 percent of the team's snaps. An unrestricted free agent this offseason, Fox should continue to provide value as a pass rusher either in Los Angeles or elsewhere next season.

Fox totaled four tackles (three solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 31-10 victory versus the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Fox made an impact early in the contest, sacking Baker Mayfield on the Rams' first drive of the game. It was Fox's fourth sack in his past four games after he notched just 2.5 sacks over his first 12 contests. With Sunday's sack, the veteran is up to 6.5 sacks on the campaign, surpassing his previous career-best of six set in 2020 while with the Rams.

Fox registered six tackles (five solo) and two sacks in Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

While the Chargers' pass-rushing corps continues to struggle with injury concerns, Fox stepped up with a career-high six stops in Week 16, while he also compiled his first two-sack performance as a professional Monday. The 28-year-old needs just two more tackles and one more sack to reach new career highs in those categories, and he'll have an opportunity to achieve those marks come New Year's Day against the Rams.

Fox agreed to a contract with the Chargers on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox will reunite with Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, who was the defensive coordinator for the Rams in 2020 when Fox recorded a career-high six sacks. The defensive end struggled in his lone season in Carolina in 2021, but he'll look to bounce back while playing in a more familiar scheme in 2022.

The Panthers released Fox on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox started nine contests (17 appearances) in 2021, in which span he accrued a career-high 34 tackles (16 solo), in addition to 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Now, the 27-year-old defensive end will look to earn a new contract on the open market.
