After meeting with head coach Andy Reid, Trotter learned that the Eagles would be doing a youth movement at the linebacker position. The 9 year veteran and 4 time pro bowler will be seeking work elsewhere and probably will find a home due to his affordable salary ($2.6 million). With the drafting of Stewart Bradley this offseason, the improving health of Chris Gocong, and the emergence of Omar Gaither last season it was time for the Eagles to move on. 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+ tackles five times, and had 202 tackles in 1999.
Your intangibles will be missed and every Eagles fan loved you Trot.
