In a stunning move Tuesday, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to part ways with one of the stalwarts of their defense from the last several years.
The Eagles are releasing perennial Pro Bowler MLB Jeremiah Trotter, FOXSports.com has learned. Despite recording 113 tackles in 2006, the Eagles feel that Trotter has lost a step.
Trotter, who has played in Philadelphia for seven of his nine NFL seasons, has registered over 100 tackles in six different seasons, including each of the last two. At 29, Trotter has been one of the Eagles' leaders on defense, along with safety Brian Dawkins.
Trotter was expected to anchor an improved Eagles linebacking corps with the off-season acquisition of Takeo Spikes.
DAYUM WAT ARE THE EAGLES THINKIN OH WELL ITZ THEIR LOSS SOMEONE WILL PAY HIM NICELY
