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.
