Cole signed with the Saints on Monday, Herbie Teope of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It took just two days for Cole to find a new home in New Orleans. There's still a good chance he'll find himself on the outskirts when the 53-man roster cuts are finalized, but for now it's a good spot for him to showcase his abilities.

Cole was released by the Jaguars on Saturday, John Reid of the Florida Times Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cole inked a deal with the Jaguars in March to serve as a reserve linebacker for the club, but it appears his time in Jacksonville has run out. A four-year veteran, it wouldn't be surprising if he pops up on another roster.

Cole signed a contract with the Jaguars on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The exact terms of the deal remain a bit unclear, but the sixth-year linebacker will provide the Jaguars with some depth at the middle linebacker position behind veteran Paul Posluszny. It's unlikely he will produce enough to be worthy of ownership in IDP leagues, with the majority of his snaps likely coming on special teams.

Cole will start at middle linebacker Sunday against Detroit with Eric Kendricks inactive due to a concussion.
EDGE Analysis
Cole will not see the bulk of snaps however, as Chad Greenway will likely stay on the field in nickel and dime situations with Cole sitting out. Cole may not be an ideal IDP replacement for Kendricks as a result.

EDGE Analysis
Cole may not see the bulk of snaps however, as Chad Greenway may stay on the field in nickel and dime situations with Cole sitting out. It's also possible Emmanuel Lamur could get snaps at middle linebacker. Cole may not be an ideal IDP replacement for Kendricks as a result.

Cole (ankle) signed a one-year contract to stay with the Vikings, FOX Sports North reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cole had just three tackles in seven games during the 2015 season, but he did start in Week 9 against the Rams in place of an injured Eric Kendricks. Cole broke his ankle during that game, ending his season prematurely. His biggest 2016 impact may come on special teams.

Cole was placed on the season-ending injured reserve list Tuesday after breaking his ankle during Sunday's contest.
EDGE Analysis
Cole got the start at middle linebacker with Eric Kendricks (ribs) ruled out prior to Sunday's game and the 26-year-old recorded two solo tackles before breaking his ankle. Jason Trusnik will take his place on the roster and provide depth at linebacker, but it remains to be seen who might start for the Vikings if Kendricks is held out of the lineup another week.

Cole suffered a broken ankle during Sunday's win against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the nod at middle linebacker with Eric Kendricks (ribs) sidelined, Cole recorded two solo tackles before a teammate rolled up on the back of his leg. He needed a cart to get off the field, indicating the severity, and head coach Mike Zimmer confirmed the diagnosis in a post-game media session. While such an injury is almost certainly season-ending, the Vikings will update Cole's status accordingly in the coming days.

Cole (finger) is active and will start Sunday's game against the Rams, Ben Goessling of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Eric Kendricks sitting out due to a rib injury, Cole is the next man up at middle linebacker, which could yield fruit against a run-heavy offense. On the season, though, Cole has just one solo tackle and a fumble recovery, as he's been limited to special-teams duty.
