The Eagles have acquired 29-year old inside linebacker Will Witherspoon from the Rams for rookie WR Brandon Gibson and a 5th round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.  Witherspoon should be just what the doctor ordered for the Eagles who have been having a hard time stopping both the run and dealing with RBs out of the backfield and TEs over the middle.  He played in 6 games this season for the Rams and he made 33 tackles and he forced 1 fumble.  Witherspoon has now played in 116 games in his NFL career and he has 685 tackles, 53 passes defensed, 19 sacks, 8 forced fumbles and he has 8 interceptions (one of which he returned for a TD).  Gibson has potential but he couldn’t get on the field this season for the Eagles due to the depth they have at WR.  This was a great move for the Eagles.
