The Philadelphia Eagles continued their roster makeover Wednesday with the release of longtime linebacker Trent Cole.

The Eagles had been trying to get Cole to reduce his $10 million salary.

“We spoke with Trent and his agent and expressed a desire to have him back,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. “We have been talking for a couple of weeks. However, at this point, we think it’s best to let him explore other options around the NFL.”

On Tuesday night, Cole tweeted: “No respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Caption that!”

Cole, 32, played for the Eagles for 10 seasons and ranks second in franchise history, behind Hall of Famer Reggie White, with 85.5 sacks.

In 2014, he tallied 52 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 15 games.

Cole played in 155 games, starting 145, for the Eagles. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2009.

Kelly, in his third year as coach, has been reshaping his roster in advance of the start of free agency Tuesday. The Eagles also have released longtime guard Todd Herremans, tight end James Casey and cornerback Cary Williams, and they reportedly are set to trade running back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday.

The moves are expected to leave the Eagles with around $48 million in space under the $143.3 million salary cap on Tuesday.
