Rutherford plans to sign LaRose and Cole by July 1

From WRAL this morning:

"The draft, of course, is very important to us in a couple of weeks but we would like to get some of these unrestricted guys signed in Cole, LaRose certainly prior to July 1," Rutherford told 99.9FM The Fan's Mike Maniscalco on Wednesday. "If we don't then we run the risk of losing them."

Sounds like he's interested in keeping Cole around?
