PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- Only Reggie White has more sacks in Eagles green than Trent Cole. On Wednesday, the Eagles officially released Cole, 32, and his 85.5 career sacks, saving themselves $8.425 in 2015 cap space.

On Thursday, after Vince Wilfork released a statement to New England upon realizing the Patriots would not retain him, Cole offered his appreciation to Eagles fans.
Time to move on to be a great teammate, leader, example, and mentor to others of this great game. Excited to see what the future holds.

Couldn't thank Philadelphia, New Jersey, and all Eagles Fans enough. I greatly enjoyed the times there as a Eagle. Forever a Eagle.
