Witherspoon Is The New Takeo Spikes

Will Witherspoon is cut, saving the team $5 million in cash. Good on Derek for calling this one:

That list of big salaries is certainly interesting. I think Witherspoon might be on that final chart, too. $5 million is a lot of money for a guy you don't really want to start anywhere.

I didn't believe they didn't want to start him. Of course, Derek was right. The Eagletarian blog update reads similarly:

The move is not a huge surprise, given how much money he is due and could end up being a backup.

Lots of question marks at linebacker. I'd guess that there is a good chance that the starters from the end of 2009 will be entirely different than the starters for the first game of 2010.
