I can see the Eagles going after Spoon if he's there in the 1st round.

No I mean, Why did they release if since they just traded for him?

[OnTheWarpath15]

They traded for him out of desperation.

They needed someone that could step in an replace Stuart Bradley short-term.

Witherspoon had two years left on his contract and was set to make $5 million in base salary for 2010.
