Jeremiah Trotter, seen here during his dodge ball heyday, is making a comeback attempt with the Eagles.

Eagles deep reserve linebacker Tracey White will likely don a new number when the Eagles play again in two weeks.

If not, then he might get an axe to the head.

The Axeman, Jeremiah Trotter, is officially flying with the Eagles again, and will look to claim No. 54 for the third time in his career. Hey, Tracey, hold out for at least four free car washes when trot tries to bribe you for the number. Trot has sold his TrotSpot Car Wash, but that doesn’t mean he can’t wash your car by hand, Tracey.

Having Trot back in the fold is good news from a leadership standpoint. With Dawk in Denver and Stewart Bradley on IR, the birds need a vocal defensive leader.

Don’t expect the man to chop wood like he did in the past; he essentially has been off the NFL field for two years, and he is in his early 30s.

However, having him back in the locker room will pay dividends down the line. Now, the young linebackers on the team have someone they can look up to and learn from this season. Oh, and someone who can hold them accountable.

If Omar Gaither answered the call last week, just think how much better he’ll have to play knowing fan favorite Jeremiah Trotter is sitting behind him waiting for an opportunity.
