Trotter to be released?
http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW...news031104.htm
The Redskins and C Cory Raymer have come to an agreement on a three-year contract worth $3.1 million, according to the Washington Post. Raymer returns to Washington, where he played from 1995 through 2001, after being released by the Chargers last week. He’s expected to vie for a starting spot in the middle of the line with Lennie Friedman. The signing could mean last year’s starting center, Larry Moore, could be toast. Releasing Moore would save the team about $1.3 million under the salary cap. … The team is waiting to hear back about an offer made to Panthers LB Greg Favors, who also is being pursued by the Jaguars. … Giants LB Brandon Short visited the team yesterday and also is in the mix, and former Bears LB Warrick Holdman reportedly is set to visit the team Monday. Why would the team be going after all these linebackers, especially ones with experience inside? It’s speculation, but MLB Jeremiah Trotter could be let go after June 1, which would save the team nearly $3 million in cap space. Of course, by doing so, they would take a $4.6 million hit next year. Trotter signed a seven-year, $36 million contract in 2002.
This would cure what ails us in the middle. Then we could have the freedom to trade up and get Eli. :cool:
