Fantasy Impact:
Cole has been a warrior over the last decade, racking up a whopping 88.5 career sacks over his career. He was a good soldier the last two years, as the team transitioned to a 3-4 from the 4-3 defense he had played for eight seasons, asking Cole to play a different position than he was accustomed to, and he did so without a complaint. His play was decent this past season, it just wasn't good enough to justify the $10 mil salary he was set to make this upcoming season. Though Cole is 32 years old, he still has some gas in the tank and should help a team in need of a 4-3 Defensive End.
