Was Releasing Trotter a Mistake

Before anyone screams "NO," let me preface my comments by saying that Antonio Pierce is a very good MLB (which I didn't see coming whereas other Warpathers did). I'm glad we have Pierce and wouldn't want Trotter starting here.

However, we're going to take a $4 million cap hit next season for releasing him. Moreover, since Trotter started at MLB in Philly, their run defense has flourished. They went from allowing 4.7 ypc to 3.7 ypc.

In tomorrow's Washington Times article about Trotter, it is claimed that Joe Gibbs admitted that releasing Trotter was a mistake.

So, should we have kept Trotter as our #2 MLB; if not to provide our defense with depth, than to see Philly's run defense stink up the Linc?
