Pages : [1] 2 3 4 raleighskinsfan 03-09-2004, 05:42 PM With our bringing Brandon Short in today, who thinks the likelier scenario than the Skins running a 3-4 occasionally is the Skins cutting Trotter after June 1? How much does he count against the cap this year and down the line? Is he worth what we will be paying him? My two cents is that he is a good but not great player who has not played up to what we have paid him- cpayne5 03-09-2004, 05:45 PM I can see him leaving. I know he got hurt his first year and was adjusting to Marvin Lewis' system, but great players make great plays no matter what. He hasn't made any great plays, so I wouldn't be sad to see him go. cpayne5 03-09-2004, 05:46 PM He's got a huge contract too. That money could be better spent. Daseal 03-09-2004, 06:04 PM I like him and think that if used correctly (blitz) then he could be an asset for the team. However if we can replace him for younger and cheaper, I don't see any reason to hesitate. He's not exactly a life long skin so I don't feel bad cutting him. I think he can still be an excellent LB in the league if used correctly, and I think he could work well with Williams. I am curious to see what happens! EEich 03-09-2004, 06:12 PM He counts $2.7 million against the cap this year (plus signing bonus)... next year is when his salary really spikes up to $4.5 mil (plus bonus). I could see him hanging around this year, but next year he's a goner for sure. MTK 03-09-2004, 06:18 PM I don't think we'll be switching to the 3-4 and I don't think Trotter will be cut. Williams likes his LB's and with Trotter, Arrington and Washington he'll have a heck of a threesome. johnnyredskin63 03-09-2004, 06:19 PM He counts $2.7 million against the cap this year (plus signing bonus)... next year is when his salary really spikes up to $4.5 mil (plus bonus). I could see him hanging around this year, but next year he's a goner for sure. i think he's gone next year too,unless he renegs his contract.but i really think he'll be a redskin in 2004.what i am curious about is what is gonna happen to brian noble? http://www.thehogs.net/forum/images/avatars/gallery/admin/lavar_aikman.jpg Defensewins 03-09-2004, 06:21 PM Was Brandon Short brought in for a visit or did he sign a contract with the Skins? We have enough LB's, we have other greater needs. I hope we are done signing LB's. raleighskinsfan 03-09-2004, 06:41 PM MattyK- if we aren't switching to a 3-4, and Trotter isn't going to be cut, why are we still looking at LB's? We have Pierce and Mitchell for depth, so why bring in Short? offiss 03-09-2004, 06:43 PM I don't see trortter going anywhere, he's still young and he was an animal in philli we just never used him correctly you have to have him going forward all the time he will wreck havoc in opposing team's backfield's this year because you can rest assured that william's is going to turn this guy loose.
