The Philadelphia Eagles have released veteran linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, a clear indication the 30-year-old's knees are just not up to the wear-and-tear of another NFL season. 
“Jeremiah is one of my favorite guys,” said head coach Andy Reid. “There’s no question that this is the toughest part of this job. He and I met about this last night and it was very emotional for the both of us. Jeremiah and I have been together for many years and he’s played a vital role in helping this team win a lot of football games. He developed himself into a Pro Bowl middle linebacker through a lot of hard work and desire. In my mind, he will always be a Philadelphia Eagle and I’m sure he feels the same way. I wish he and his family nothing but the best in the future.”
The Giants will surely be interested in this development, even if Trotter had played a decreased role in recent years. He remained one of the best run-stopping inside linebackers in the game - just ask Tiki Barber, who absorbed a bunch of punishment by Trotter - but he was regularly removed on passing downs. And with the NFL increasingly using spread offenses, Trotter's value simply wasn't there.
The decision is a big blow to newly acquired Takeo Spikes, who had befriended Trotter and spent countless hours in the off-season absorbing the team's defense.
We'd actually heard during the off-season that Trotter was considering retirement because of his knees, and chances are he'll do just that. There's a chance he might somehow hook on with another team, but if he does, it will be for peanuts, and will probably end badly.

If Strahan retires, I say the Giants scrap the Kiwanuka plan and sign Trotter to play OLB on running downs. Kiwanuka can return to playing end and can drop into coverage when necessary on passing downs.
