Witner may be able to tackle, he will at least hit someone. In the end this is just another band aid. Signing guys off the street mid season isn't going to solve our issues on defense.
I think replacing Bruton with Witner would certainly bring a positive change to the starting defense. But this certainly isn't a long term fix..

I wonder whether they bring in Whitner and Pot Roast, cut Iannodis and resign him to the practice squad.

To the extent you buy into Pro Football Focus, Whitner graded out well last year in Cleveland and very well the year before that in San Fran. Still an effective player it seems.
But yes, not a long term solution. But if he shores up some tackling and brings some big hits that keep the defense from getting discouraged, it helps keep everyone engaged this season, which still makes a positive impact.
The thing that gets lost is there's a potential negative effect on the current roster if we just sit idle. Players like to know their front office sees what they're seeing and tries as hard as they do to get Ws in the here and now. It helps build the culture you want.
McC will have to balance that against our long term ability to build a roster.

So, wait was it a joke or confirmed that we signed Whitner? I can't find any sources on it.

Either a joke or someone talking out of school. There's no indication that we've signed him yet - the latest we have is Mike Jones on twitter two hours ago saying Whitner was at Redskins Park.
Don't know if he's still there or not.

It will interesting to see what they do next offseason. It would be great if most of the BPA's in the draft were on defense. We seriously need 3-4 drafted players that can contribute on defense, and maybe a FA or two.

This is why Josh played so much better in the second half, he was angry about his lifesavers.http://www.candywarehouse.com/assets/item/large/Life-Savers-Gummies-5Flavor-im-128468.jpg
