Yasin's BILLS Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Trading Takeo Spikes, would defanitely be a shot in the foot to the line backer core. I know he's been hampered by injuries, but I don't think he should be traded or be replaced based on that. Takeo Spikes is still a freak of nature and is still a heavy hitter. So I say we should keep Takeo Spikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Well, for what it's worth, I don't think we'll be TRADING him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I don't know how we are going to resolve Spikes but you can bet he won't be on the roster come the season opener. Marv is building a team and there was a difference of opinion concerning personnel with Spikes. Spikes sounded like a mild Moulds when the new regime were making roster decisions. The money doesn't make sense in keeping Spikes anyways, the guy has played his better days. Remember Cowart? Great LB, same injury. It's time to purge. My biggest disappointment with this decision is I have another outdated jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombstone56 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 i exspect spikes to be gone on draft day ,either as a player swap with chicago or as part of a move up to the giants slot in the 1st rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 i exspect spikes to be gone on draft day ,either as a player swap with chicago or as part of a move up to the giants slot in the 1st rdYhe only way I would trade Spikes would be for Briggs ( we would have to throw in a draft choice or two).

bills_fan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I know I'm in the minority, but I really want him back. I think he'll be much better this year, almost the old Spikes. I love the way the guy plays and hopefully, they bring him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 If we trade Spikes I swear I'm going to track down the guy who sold me his autographed "The Comeback" mini-helmet and !@#$ing kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBills#1 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I really want to keep the guy and give him this year to see if he's close to full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 We probably won't trade him. GOOD TO SEE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Given our lack of depth at LB. I vote in favor of keeping Spikes and see how he does this year in addition to providing leadership to our LB's. I personally think this is the year he gets it back together, if not, C'ya Spikes, it has been real ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm not afraid of our trading him. I suspect if we think he can play and is recovered we'll keep him. However, if the assessment he isn't going to come all the way back...I think we might actually cut him on down line. Watch how many linebackers we draft.

JAMIEBUF12 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 i dont want the bills to trade takeo either.i feel even if he has lost a step or isn't the best linebacker the bills have ,he is still the emotional leader of this defense.i think after playing last season he could be back to full form this season.his injurys last season i think were hamstrings and not his torn achilles.we need takeo!go bills in"07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody explain this logic... briggs is willing to sit out this whole year, or at least he said so. they'd be getting something, instead of losing him next year to FA. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
