Six Eagles have signed long-term deals in the last five months -- guard Shawn Andrews (through 2015), centre Jamaal Jackson (2013), safety Brian Dawkins (2008) and punter Dirk Johnson (2011).
A fifth-round pick last year, Cole won the starting job at right end midway through his rookie season and finished fourth among rookies with five sacks.
In 23 career games, including 13 starts, Cole has 11 1/2 sacks, 19 quarterback hurries and 99 tackles.
The Eagles (4-4) are tied with Dallas for second place in the NFC East, two games behind the New York Giants.
