takeo spikes cut

[methdeez]

First Trot and now Spikes.
The eagles should start a rest-home for slow, over-the-hill MLB's.
Also, I predict that they resign him.

wow someone is a huge omar gaither fan

next year at this time when all the fans are wondering why the eagles never properly address the LB position someone like spadaro will tell us "well the eagles have addressed the LB position every yr....they traded for spikes..."

[ice grillin you]

ha...pretty much

They did address the LB position almost every year. They were just very bad at judging talent at that position, just like WR.  TKO was a physical LB and helped the run defense last year, but that's about it. He wasn't worth $5 mill.

one less washed up overpaid vet around the better. spikes didn't do anything spectacular. it still leaves me a bad feeling in the gut when i look at our linebackers. fargin pathetic. i really hope they get a vet to come in at LB, they need someone please.

i'd still much rather see them get a WR though

1. This angers me because it leaves them with no experience there. Spikes was starting to play well last year once he had the defense down.

2. Bradley in the middle is better than Gaither in the middle. OG is a WIL LB and thats about it. I'd prefer him there than the nickel for sure.

3. Maybe Spikes will come back at a lower salary?

4. If this leads to them trading for a guy, then I am all for it. But I don't buy it because;

They could have acquired the WR and signed him to a new deal before cutting Spikes. They are not scraping the bottom of the cap here like Washington where bonuses need to be converted and guys need to be cut in order to free up room.

But if I am wrong and they somehow, miraculously, acquire Williams, Fitz or Ocho....I'm going to turn my frown upside down.

its not like the eagles are desperate for the cap space.

i get the feeling they are just promoting bradely like they did gocong. not because he deserves it but because they drafted him and they feel like they should promote him.

[banner/eskin/spadaro] look at how many draft picks they have starting[spadaro/eskin/banner]

[Phanatic]

Well another year worrying about the Line Backers... what a surprise. Though Gacong was much better then I thought he would be last year.... which means my expectations were pretty low.

i wonder if they approached TKO asking him to take a pay cut. it would be nice to have guys on the team like that. you know, guys who want to win

he was on eskin yesterday and confirmed this...first day of free agency they brought it up with him...

also great point about having guys on your team with that huge desire to win...that have that dog in them as trot says...gocong is a pile of mush and gaither is calm...bradley well see...but especially at linebacker you need crazy men...thats what spikes was and its what this team has been purged of over the last five six years...it scares me to think what happens when dawk leaves....everyone left is either vanilla or pissed about their contract

I heard that TKO was approached for a pay cut and he turned them down, so they released him.

Anybody interested in purchasing 1 yr old, hardly worn, Takeo Spikes green replica jersey?

What color?  How much?  Will you trade straight up for a black Kearse jersey?
