If you're a Giants' fan used to seeing Jeremiah Trotter bring down Big Blue's running backs, forget about it. Unless you think Antonio Pierce is washed up - he isn't, by any stretch - Trotter just doesn't fit in the Giants' plans. Of course, Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo was the Eagles' linebackers coach before coming to New York, so he'll surely have some thoughts on Trotter.
But he can't possibly convince Tom Coughlin that Trotter is a better alternative than what the Giants already have. Besides, if he could still play, the Eagles wouldn't have released him. Spags knows as well as anyone the limitations that Trotter faces. I just can't see him lobbying to bring him to the Giants.
