The Rams have traded 29-year old linebacker Will Witherspoon to the Philadelphia Eagles for WR Brandon Gibson and a 5th round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.  Witherspoon played in 6 games for the Rams this season and he had 33 tackles and 1 forced fumble.  In 4 years with the Rams, Witherspoon played in 54 games in which he made 331 tackles, defensed 18 passes, had 11 sacks, forced 6 fumbles and he picked off 1 pass.  Brandon Gibson is a rookie 6th round pick out of Washington State who just couldn’t get on the field due to the deep WR corps of the Eagles.  That shouldn’t be a problem in St. Louis where he should get onto the field as early as this weekend.
