Trotter rumors and Defensive tackle analysis from Fox Sports

[skins009]

I think the reason they never considered doing that was because he doesn't fit what Williams wants at LB and that is speed. Plus he's making a lot of money, which only made things worse. I still think though the redskins need to find a way to keep him from going to the eagles.

I agree that he needs to be prevented from going to the Eagles. That being said, I'm not sure Barrow is substantially faster than Trotter. I think the main difference between the two linebackers is upstairs - Barrow is a student of the game whereas Trotter is far more instintive. That's part of the reason Trotter hasn't fit in (when he's been healthy).

I think it would be more harmful if Trotter came from the same defensive system that we would use this year. Do you think that Gibbs didn't invite Trotter to training camp just in case he were to go to a division rival?

The fact that the eagles want him could stir up interest from other team's, seeing a team out there who are SB contender's, giving him the starting MLB job, perhap's there's another team willing to give up a draft pick for him?

I can't believe that he'd be willing to go back to Philly. When he left, he was completely indignant regarding the team, even promising to make them pay for not appreciating him. How do you tuck your tail between your legs, take a big ass pay cut and return to the team (and those fans) after that?

True. There was a lot of acrimony on both sides in their parting. Trotter was very angry with the organization and the they slandered him all the way out the door.
They could sure use him though.
