Trotter is a one-dimensional LB. In pass coverage, he can't cover a corpse.

But that was NOT his problem in DC. The problem here was his contract not his play. He wasn't worth what it cost to keep him here.

When he signed here, he was making more than Ray Lewis. Think about that for a moment and you'll realize the abject idiocy of the contract that the Skins gave him. That is why he had to be let go.

Instead of making an average of about $6-7M a year here, he is playing in Philly for $1M plus team incentives. Now at that price, Trotter is worth having on the roster. In the region above $5-6M per year, he isn't.
