Breaking news Takeo Spikes traded to Philly

by Steve
The Buffalo Bills traded Takeo Spikes and Kelly Holcomb to the Philadelphia Eagles for Defensive Tackle Darwin Walker. Walker played in all 16 games last year and from reports is a real thinker which leads one to think he is a big Marv Levy 'high character' guy. This trade frees up cap space as well as fills a need position. The impact of losing Spikes is yet to be determined and at face value appears to be a fair trade. Walker is under contract through the 2008 season getting paid $1,300,000 in 2007 and $1,400,000 in 2008.

Some comparison: (2006)
Kevin Williams
36 tackles, 5 sacks, 6 pass defended

John Henderson
51 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 6 pass defended

Tommie Harris
28 tackles, 5 sacks, 1 pass defended (12 games)

Kris Jenkins
41 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 pass defended

Pat Williams
44 tackles, 1 sack, 2 pass defended

Darwin Walker
36 tackles, 6 sacks, 1 INT, 3 pass defended
