Trotter given permission to seek trade

Trotter had some tackles, but he has been caught out of position so many times. Other teams knew that they could slip a HB or FB out of the backfield for a big gain, because trotter (and arrington) fell for it every time.

I agree Ghost, sounds like the staff likes Mitchell enough to justify letting Trotter go.

I am perfectly comfortable with Mitchell lining up as the mike linebacker. The reason he hasn't been starting all along is because of Trotter's name and salary.

Hopefully we get a half decent pick for Trotter, then we can shore up any remaining weak spots (assuming we keep the #5 and go for Taylor). I think they'll look to pick up a backup for Mitchell in FA and let Mitchell know, barring bad performance/injury, that he is the starter early so he can feel confident playing there.

What do you think we could get for J.Trotter? I really would like himn to stick around for another season, but if not oh well. Mitchell is still a pretty soild player. Wherever Trotter goes, I wouldnt be at all suprised if he did very well there.

The bet here is that no one will bite and he'll be a post-June 1 cut. If we do manage to trade him, we might get a fifth rounder or something ... nothing special. I was hoping he'd be back for one more season at least but it looks like this is a done deal.
