Trent Cole’s Gone Too

Trent Cole’s gone too as the Eagles continued to clean house – and Trent’s not thrilled.

Check out his tweet from an hour ago.

I also mentioned the possibility of DeMeko Ryans being cut – wonder if that will come true as well?

In any case, I’ve got some re-writing to do for tomorrow.

Trent Cole played for the Eagles for ten seasons. He was a good player – who two years ago adapted after being shifted from defensive end to outside linebacker when new defensive coordinator Billy Davis replaced the 4-3 and installed the 3-4 in its place.

Cole’s cap number of $11.265-million for the 2015 season was way too much for the 32-year-old defender. Personally, I knew that Trent Cole was willing to re-structure his deal, but as it turned out the Eagles weren’t willing to renegotiate.

He’ll catch on somewhere and I wish him the best.

Now, what’s gonna happen tomorrow?
