Armstead is unquestionably slowed down from his peak performance years but he is not a stiff.

One reason to keep Trotter and not Armstead has to do with finances and not on-field performance. Trotter's signing bonus has not been amortized much in his two years here and cutting him would create a chunk of "dead money".

I suspect Armstead will catch on somewhere for another season or two if he wants to do that.

I loved Armstead as a Skin, he was amazingly consistent, I called him The Vet. Hopefully he can be brought back at a lower price.
