"I definitely felt something was off, just not starting in preseason," Witherspoon allowed. "I was surprised at the moment and then after that just thankful for the opportunity."
The opportunity has initially included traveling to Pittsburgh on Saturday, taking a physical on Sunday and practicing with his new team today.
That's seemingly a lot to take in over a short period of time, but only, apparently, to the less enlightened.
"I think it's an illusion of a whirlwind," Witherspoon continued. "The job I do and the type of grace and attitude I have for life and this game, that type of narrative doesn't really fit for my true story.
"I just kinda go with the flow. I'm here now where somebody wants me to compete and help them win a championship and that's what I plan to do."
Witherspoon, 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, arrives with 47 NFL games, 33 NFL starts and four career interceptions (including a pick-six) on his resume, all with the 49ers.
He acknowledged the defense here is "much different" than those he played in San Francisco and Seattle, but in terms of the role he'll eventually play in it Witherspoon was much less specific.
"We will see," he said, when asked if he anticipated being active for Sunday's opener in Buffalo.
"I'm just a good football player," Witherspoon added. "In this league, it's important to have good football players on your team.
"That's why I'm here."
