This Eagles season seems to get weirder by the day. It has already been filled with a quarterback carousel, the Michael Vick controversy and a mountain of injuries and now the Eagles are turning back the clock: former Eagle Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter was brought in for a workout today. Yeah, that isn't a typo and this isn't a post from three years ago, the Birds really took a look at Trotter.The story was originally reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter and the Eagles have si...

    just heard this on CSN. Funny thing is, I was listening to 610wip a few weeks ago which Trotter was doing the show along with someone else and a caller asked Trot how good of shape he was in and Trot answered by saying that he is in excellent shape, and feels great after getting surgery after his stint with TB. I would love to have Trotter back if hes still got something left.

    Hes not that old. He might not be able to cover premier RB and TE bue he could be a solid plater on 1st and 2nd down. Hey Ray lewis still does it why not Trot? I always thought when Trotter was playing his best he was just a notch below Lewis. Hacksaw reynolds played for 49ers so can Trotter.

    Run defense is fine. I guess the vet leadership would be worth it alone. Someone to rally the troops.

    I know R. Cunningham is coming to town, maybe want to swing him by for a tryout too? Trotter would be a welcomed vet for the youth on the team!

      no, it just means they don`t think gaither is the man in the middle against the run. and maybe it`s a leadership thing. with dawkins gone maybe they feel he can rally the troops like dawk used to do. i like the idea, IF he is anywhere near what he used to be.
  • Zukny1
    He used to be OK. They let him go, because they thought Gaither was better!!!!!!!

    i'm with khollen on this one!!! i'm thinking they feel they need a vocal leader to motivate the young guys!!! when they let dawk leave for the rockies it left a big void to fill!!! also gaither is better suited for the will spot!!! trotter just had his knees cleaned out and should be ok against the run!!! move gaither in the nickle spot for coverage!!!

    How can Trott have anything left? It's been like 2 years since he played.

    he's 32 which isnt old but his knees are i think he may be able to play in situational downs who knows?
  • ItsWhatever
    If he plays 1 out of 3 downs, we might be able to use Gaither on special teams more. Gaither was a beast on ST. not that were signing Trot or anything.
