Former Eagles pass rusher Trent Cole will sign with the Colts, the team announced Tuesday.

Cole, who played in Philadelphia for 10 seasons, was released March 4. He played defensive end for the Eagles but will likely switch to outside linebacker in the Colts' 3-4 scheme.

The Colts appear to be targeting veteran leadership this offseason. The team will also bring in running back Frank Gore and likely wide receiver Andre Johnson. 

Cole has made the Pro Bowl twice in his career (2007, 2009) and made second-team All-Pro in 2009. He finished with 6.5 sacks last season. The Colts also signed former Eagles guard Todd Herremans this offseason.
