BuffaloBaumer Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The question I have is.....would we have looked at Spikes and others if we had signed Byrd? If the answer is no, then it will help ease the pain in the secondary. Actually, just lie and tell me no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCOHEN13 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I hope you are right! What do we all think is a fair contract for Spikes? 4 years/$20M? CBF I hope you are right! What do we all think is a fair contract for Spikes? 4 years/$20M? CBF He's young enough and plays a position that would be nice to get a 4 yr deal... Hopefully at least 3 but hopefully under $5 mil a yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The Wiki edits are all over the place right now. One edit says 6 years, $60 mil, heh. Oh community run pages. Great for some things, but for others not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 "Spikes signed a 4 year deal worth $50 million with the Buffalo Bills. He also has taken up tap dancing and hot yoga in order to change his image." lol CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I wonder what the long-term outlook of Biff Co would have been post-Almanac. Even staked to enormous wealth, I can't believe he was much of a businessman and he seemed to have a pretty high burn rate expense-wise, so I could see cash flow problems looming down the road a bit. BiffCo was a multi tiered enterprise, specializing in toxic disposal. But the REAL cash came from the Paradise Casino. Kinda tough for a casino owner to go broke.

BuffaloBaumer Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 So why was Spikes a healthy scratch for the Pats multiple times last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 So why was Spikes a healthy scratch for the Pats multiple times last year? I don't think he missed a regular season game last year. He was benched in the postseason after being late to a team meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 If he really can't cover well in the pass then move on. So many teams pass on any down. You can't predict it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I don't think he missed a regular season game last year. He was benched in the postseason after being late to a team meeting. i think the story devolved into - he totally missed a team meeting while tweeting out pics of his car snowed in, but not calling anyone at the facility to let them know. pats tossed him on IR, and a few days/week later his agent made a comment that he couldve played.

Buffalo Beeeews Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 This would be the Bills signing Bryan Cox v. 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Am I the only one not ecstatic about this? I think that he is a good run stuffing LB but its not like when Takeo came. This guy is limited and can help the run D. I would expect him to improve the run D in a similar manner to the way that Lawson improved the pass d.

The Wiz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 So which came first, Kiko being moved to OLB or Spikes visiting buffalo? set up a car service for him and Dareus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a flexible d-line with ok depth. You'll have flexible OLB's and surprisingly decent depth. You have a safety that can play corner, a guy who covers the slot well and you just brought in a guy that just might challenge for a starting CB spot who is at worst depth. I think the defense will be ok. <edit>did I really say that I think the defense will be ok?</edit> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
