LB Will Witherspoon, Eagles – Pick him up!  The Eagles tried to replace Stewart Bradley with people already on their roster. When they didn’t pan out, Philadelphia turned to old stalwart Jeremiah Trotter.  But with Trotter out of the league for too long, he has been burned repeatedly and is only good for limited support on running plays. 

Witherspoon is already familiar with the Eagles’ defense and is capable of blitzing as well as tackling.  Witherspoon is pretty much recovered from his back injury and will start immediately against the Redskins.  You can stop wasting your time with Joe Mays or Omar Gaither (who himself is headed to IR) and plug Witherspoon into your starting lineup immediately...
