The Philadelphia Eagles have signed Jerimiah Trotter to add depth to the middle linebacker position. Following two workouts, the Eagles apparently were convinced enough about the health of Trotter’s knee to hand him a contract.
Articles out of the Philadelphia Daily News this morning quoted Trotter as saying that his knee was much improved since the last time he took the field in 2007 and that his mobility is greatly increased.
Trotter is clearly being added to this linebacker corps to help solidfy the run defense—an area that has always been his strong suit. A side benefit of this signing is that Trotter will immediately bring a veteran leadership this defense sorely lacks.
The question is: can he still play?
