The Philadelphia Eagles had a very busy Tuesday, making multiple surprising roster moves to position themselves for the 2015 season.

Most notably, head coach Chip Kelly (who is also in charge of personnel decision-making) shipped out star running back LeSean McCoy to Buffalo, in exchange for Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso.
With Alonso coming to the City of Brotherly Love, the Eagles didn't have much use for veteran Trent Cole, and he was released after 10 seasons with the club.
Cole was never a fan favorite but he managed to put up a productive career in Philly. He recorded 85.5 sacks as an Eagle, including four seasons where he had 10 or more.

The 32-year-old did not take kindly to being released so unexpectedly after his long career with the team. Just a few hours after news of his release hit the news wires, Cole logged on to Twitter to let his followers know exactly how he feels about Philadelphia Eagles management.
Cole and McCoy joing tight end James Casey, guard Todd Herremans, and cornerback Cary Williams as veteran players the Eagles have parted ways with in 2015. The team made big headlines in 2014 as well, when they let go off star wide receiver Desean Jackson.
