YoloinOhio Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 We should all appreciate this guy even if he isn't coming back. He loves us and has been pretty clear on that.i hope he signs here but it's clear they have a value on him that they won't exceed and imo you need to do that with these types of players. I like him though and I think he fits in with this coaching staff and team's attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 @MikeReiss: Nothing official, but told there is a "good chance" that Patriots will sign LB Dane Fletcher. Team has been seeking experienced LB depth. Â Sounds like any LB they take on will not be signed until after 5/12 so it won't help our comp pick situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 @RapSheet: Brandon Spikes will sign with #Patriots today, source said (as ESPN 1st reported). He visited last week. Can now begin unblocking Pats fans. Â Maybe they are hoping he can play CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 No he is replacing the guys fired for mishandling the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 What a traitor. How could he even show his face around there at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 In a way, it makes sense for Belichik. In a division without QBs where everyone needs to run the ball, and Tannehill can't/wont throw deep, might as well load up on the front 7 to stop the run.

Beef Jerky Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Good riddance, he was being put on a pedestal by some people around here... All he is good for is a backup LBer that isn't really a good LBer in today's NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan888 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Good riddance, he was being put on a pedestal by some people around here... All he is good for is a backup LBer that isn't really a good LBer in today's NFL. He was a team captain and a very good contributor, don't act like he wasn't good just because he didn't sign with us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 He was a team captain and a very good contributor, don't act like he wasn't good just because he didn't sign with us again.He didn't sign witht he Bills because interest was minimal, if any interest at all. along with 30 other teams since FA began months ago.

YoloinOhio Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Do we hate him again?Not at all, for me. I like him. Would have liked to have him back, but understand why they are going with Ty Powell. Hopefully, we beat the Pats anyway. I am interested to see how much money pats gave him.

Kirby Jackson Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am happy for him. He seems like a really good guy that brought an edge to the team and embraced the area. He is somewhat limited as a player but a guy that I appreciated. I wish him nothing but the best with the rest of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I will miss him but the Bills may not.. Â Perfectly said. Welcome to the Doug Whaley show. We are so fortunate to have him that it's a shame some of us don't see that yet. It's so clear that he learned a ton while being in Pittsburgh. Remember how they would just all the sudden have another LB become great the moment they moved on from one? I think we're going to start seeing the full value of having Whaley as his moves mature.

Lurker Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Not at all, for me. I like him. Would have liked to have him back, but understand why they are going with Ty Powell. Agreed. At the end of the day, he has to put food on the table and do what's best for his family. Â He said many times that he enjoyed being a Bill and would have loved to stay. But the reported $3 million he was asking for just wan't going to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I dont blame him, and I'll always respect his game (just like I did when he was at Florida, and through his first stint with the Pats), but he's now back to being the enemy. Even worse that it's back with the Evil Empire. Sorry, Brandon, but this friendship is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
