When the Redskins' season ended last year, Trotter offered a stinging indictment of the coaching staff's failure to provide discipline, especially in meetings when players would play games on their cell phones.
"You know who did that as often as anybody?" one angry former coach complained after the stories appeared. "Jeremiah Trotter."
- from Paul Woody's article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch
Would keeping Trotter be better than spending money on Mike Barrow and having him sit on injured reserve all year? Yes, it would have been better. I suppose that it isn't necessary that the middle linebacker be the one hitting the books the most and making the calls - someone else conceivably could have filled that role. So maybe keeping Trotter and avoiding the cap hit would have saved us money to sign other players as well. As long as Antonio Pierce would have still emerged as the starter, it might have been better to keep Trotter. But no one is losing sleep over this.
