Trotter Gets Released

Four-Time Pro-Bowler middle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter has been released by the Philadelphia Eagles. A nine-year veteran, Trotter was informed of his status in a meeting with coach Andy Reid. The Eagles suggested that the now-unrestricted free agent consider retirement, but the 30-year-old's preference is to continue playing in the league. Trotter's release will become official when his name appears on the NFL's internal transactions wire this afternoon. In 131 games with the Eagles (1998-2001, 2004-2006) and Redskins (2002-2003), Trotter has 1,184 tackles, 12½ sacks and nine interceptions. He has notched 100 or more tackles in seven seasons, and 150-plus tackles five times, and had 202 stops in 1999. Expect Trotter to sign with another team soon, the only reason the let Trotter go was because they feel that Takeo Spikes will better fit their defense.

Well the Jets do need a linebacker, but picking Trotter does not seem like something the Jets will be willing to do because of his age. At 30 years old Trotter probably won't be having many pro bowl seasons left. The Jets will most likely try to develop some young linebackers. Hope that answers your question
