Trent Cole isn’t really retired. He estimated Monday night that between what he owns and what he leases, Cole presides over about 1,200 acres in South Jersey. Some of it is used for hunting – he still has that Blitz TV show – the rest for growing soybeans, corn, and hay.
“It’s a lot of work. I think I work harder now than I did when I was playing football,” said Cole, 35, who officially retired from the NFL as an Eagle at a halftime ceremony during the Eagles’ game against the Oakland Raiders at Lincoln Financial Field.
