The Jacksonville Jaguars today signed safety Nick Sorensen to a multi-year contract extension and signed veteran free agent wide receiver Chris Cole.

Sorensen, 26, was the Jaguars special teams captain last season and played in all 16 games. He finished the season ranked second on the team with 12 special teams tackles after leading the squad in 2003 with 19 tackles. The 6-3, 210-pound safety enters his fifth season in the NFL and third with the Jaguars. He was originally signed by Miami as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech.

Cole, 27, played in 11 games for the Broncos before being placed on injured reserve for the final four weeks of 2003. He spent four seasons in Denver after being drafted in the third round (70th overall pick) by the Broncos in the 2000 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. The 6-0, 195-pound wide receiver has played in 35 games with two starts, while recording 12 catches for 164 yards. He also has 89 career kickoff returns for 2,105 yards.
