Trotter signing

Just wanted to give a couple of quick thoughts about the moves the Eagles made today.  Signing Jeremiah Trotter tells me Andy Reid isn't pleased with the play of Omar Gaither- Stew Bradley's replacement, and wants veteran leadership on the defensive side of the ball.  Trotter is an emotional leader, and fills the void created by the departure of Brian Dawkins.  
Cutting Jeff Garcia makes sense, because he was really just a one week rental in case of an injury or ineffective play from Kevin Kolb.  And Donovan McNabb should be ready to go for Week 5, so there wasn't a need to carry four quarterbacks on the roster.
