PHILADELPHIA - Outside linebacker Trent Cole will likely be released by the Eagles after neither side could agree on a new extension for the ten-year veteran, a league source told Adam Caplan of ESPN.
His cap number was expected to be $11.6 million next season, an amount the Eagles deemed to high as head coach Chip Kelly, now in charge of personnel decisions, is carving his way through cap space as the team expects to be a major player in the coming free agency period.
Caplan reports Cole will be let go on Wednesday, before the free agency period begins at 4 p.m. Eastern time next Tuesday.
Cole was selected by Philadelphia in the fifth-round of the 2005 NFL Draft from Cincinnati, and has racked up 569 career tackles, 19 forced fumbles, and an interception.
