Fletcher Cox and his Philadelphia Eagles accomplished the worst nightmare of Minnesota Vikings fans on Sunday night when they took down the New England Patriots and won Super Bowl 52 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

The Eagles were clearly feeling themselves all week and rode it to their first Super Bowl win in team history, but their star defensive tackle is now laying claim to something that the other party really may not be all that interested in.

The Eagles' run through the playoffs certainly has a Minnesota feel to it, having blown out the Vikings in the conference title game and then winning it all in the Twin Cities, but the Land of 10,000 lakes is not for sale.

Of course, when your fans burn your home city to the ground, trying to set up shop elsewhere is understandable.
