We're hearing rumblings that the release of linebacker Jeremiah Trotter has sparked a locker-room revolt against management.

Trotter was regarded as a T.O. guy -- an in-house supporter of the talented but troublemaking wideout who disrupted the team in 2005 as he tried to get more money. And, as we hear it, some of the guys on the team who are the most upset about Trotter's release are the other T.O. sympathizers.

But it's not just the remaining pro-T.O. crowd that is unhappy about Trotter being gone. Quarterback Donovan McNabb has expressed his own questions about the move.

"The decision that was made was from the ones upstairs," McNabb said at a press conference on Wednesday. "But as a player, I just didn't see it at all. And I don't think any of us saw it.

"Sometimes when you get injured people may say you lost a step. But as you get older you get wiser and you understand more about the game. You begin to understand more about your strengths and weaknesses and you play to your strengths and [Trotter] continued to do that. He played well.

"It's unfortunate what happened but I think this is a test for not only the older guys but a test for the younger guys."

It would be easy to assume that McNabb is speaking out because he knows that he could be the 2008 version of Trotter. Maybe there are multiple motivations at work here, with McNabb thinking about about his own interests down the road, and the team's interests right now.
