Dolphins vs Bills: Five Good Questions

Eagles Cut Takeo Spikes
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
PLAYERS: Takeo Spikes,  Darwin Walker
471710
In a move that will free up 5 million dollars in cap space, the Eagles released linebacker Takeo Spikes. Spikes spent only one season with the Eagles after he was acquired from the Bills for Darwin Walker. This move is surprising, because Spikes was looked at as the veteran leader of an otherwise young linebacking group. Spikes was injured at the end of last year, so he could also not be recovering at the rate the Eagles had hoped. This move had to be done to clear up enough space for the ...

    If we are 13-3 what are the cowboys. The last time we were 13-3 everyone else in the division was tied for last at 6-10.

    As a Broncos fan, I wouldn't mind if they went after Spikes just to help support the defense. I think it would be worth the money

    the patriots should be driving to wherever he is and asking him to sign. He is a beast, even at 32.

  • pipoto77 said March 07, 2008

    Hey ANNT72 i think u got it wrong i think u mean eagles will go 13-3 and beat the Cowboys which will go 9-7 this yr.......... in the first round than the eagles will play the other rounds win the nfc championship again and win the Superbowl in Tampa....
    Sounds Good eagles fans.,.

    Yeah I didnt think they were going to release him, if anything I would think Howard.But, according to Yahoo sports he failed the physical so that's why they let him go.

  • pipoto77 said March 07, 2008

    And also to clear cap space for a playmaker on offense because if they dont i will be pissed because we really dont need to restructure the defense or special teams..... The defense is Basically Young and Full of Energy and will be like that for a while....
    Special teams they did sign to a 2 yr deal Bam Childress from the Patriots he isnt an Ideal Play making receiver but what do u think of having him as a Punt and Kick Returner and gain some yards....
    Eagles are making plans like the did for the 04 Season They are going to Dominate with the Right tools on Offense and on Defense.....

    The Eagles would be wise to get a wideout via a trade. The ones that were out there aren't worth the deals they are getting. Berrian, Walker?? You serious. Fitz or Roy Williams. Now that's what I'm talking about.

    I hope this was done to try and get fitz i think spikes needed to be cut anyway but this only gives the eagles more cap space. I heard again from local sport networks that FItz and the Cards are still not close to a deal .

  • pipoto77 said March 07, 2008

    Quick Question Guys i dont kno much about the guy Brandon (Bam) Childress that we signed earlier last month but what do u guys think if the eagles situated him as a punt returner... Do u think that may help us in that position or do u think they will draft.... Give me ur opinion i know srry totally off topic
