Delisted Lion, Cedric Cox's career could be given a lifeline by West Coast in the draft.

According to 7News' Ryan Daniels, the Eagles are considering handing Cox a rookie contract after Brisbane delisted him in late November.

Cox played 13 games for the Lions in four seasons but failed to play a game in 2020.

His most successful year came in 2017 when he averaged 11.3 disposals in eight games.

Cox would be the second Lions player to join the Eagles this offseason after Alex Witherden made the move west in the trade period.
