The Eagles have released 29-year old linebacker Will Witherspoon. Witherspoon played in 11 games for the Eagles last season and he made 58 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 5 passes defensed and 1 interception (he returned in 9 yards for a TD). I’m not so sure that I like this move for the Eagles as Witherspoon played great for them after coming over from the Panthers in a trade last year.
The Eagles have re-signed 27-year old RB Leonard Weaver. Weaver played mostly fullback until last season when Brian Westbrook was injured. Look for him to share the workload with Lesean McCoy in 2010. Weaver played in all 16 games for the Eagles last season and he carried the ball 70 times for 323 yards (4.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs. He also caught 15 passes for 140 yards (9.3 avg) with 2 TD grabs last season. This was a good move for the Eagles as Weaver is a very talented back.
