NFL Sirrius says Spikes won't be a Bill next year!!

[HHURRICANE]

I apologize to those fans who saw this coming because I didn't. TKO is probably not going to renogtiate his contract and they were saying he is making 4.5 million and I think Pat posted it's 5.5 million next year.

This is the unbelievable part. They were intimating that he will be a PATRIOT next year!!! You don't just pull that out of your butt either. They were acting like they were in the know on this one!!

If it proves out he's not fully recovered from his injury, then I could see it happening. He's frustrated and wishes to play for a winner.

But if he can't stay healthy, the big $$ will not be offered by anyone.

NE isn't known for taking injury prone players, are they?

I'm not sure I understand your post? Spikes isn't injury prone. He had one injury and it was a freak occurence.

Good riddance.

Think about this at least. Getting rid of TKO and Clements opens TONS of cap room. I would like TKO to stay even at 85% of his former self. I don't care if he or anyone on this team leaves if they aren't 100% committed to the team and this city.

He's had two injuries that has kept him out of the lineup all but 4 games out of the last 20. He may not of been injury prone early in his career but now that heis body has taken a beating one has to wonder. I hope he can recover fully and play at the level we know and love. If he does then there is no need to renegotiate. If he can not play like his former self and is the next Sam Cowart then he is not worth the $$ and I wish him well.

Another reason both Spikes and Clements should have been traded Tuesday.
But instead we will just watch them walk out the door after the season with nothing.

Phew ... add this to Fletcher-Baker being a free agent demanding loads of money as well and my suggestion about drafting Posluzny doesn't seem so stupid especially as there will be little in Free Agency.

With the type of injury TKO suffered, it only needed to be one, to be a career killer, and in many ways he will never be the same again. With the impressive start that Kevin Ellison has made I wonder if retaining TKO will impede his development.

And by releasing TKO, and not signing Clements or Fletcher Baker it provides a huge war chest to go after a TE, a no2 receiver and a NT

What were the Bills offerred for them?

And how the hell does NFL Sirius know this already? The season is not even half over.

Re: NFL Sirrius says Spikes won't be a Bill next year!!

Like Patmoran says nobody would have traded for Clements or Spikes unless they agree to a long term deal

Give them away for late rd. draft picks. Some winning team would have went for the rent a player for the rest of the year.

Spikes would have been a hard trade.

As far as I'm concerned if we can't with these guys than why sweat it if they are gone.

TD get's a frickin "F" for his signings of FA's.

Posey
Fletcher
Spikes
Adams
Milloy
Vincent

This group turned out to bring us nothing. Call it what you will but we didn't win with them.

Re: NFL Sirrius says Spikes won't be a Bill next year!!

I've always been a fan of draft your own. I absolutely hate giving up even 7th rounders as we always seem to get stiffed on the deal.

If Fletcher-Baker and Clements leave, will we be in line for a compensatory pick?

A compensatory pick in the 3rd and in the 5th or 6th would be very very good

The media always thinks every name player is going to the Pats. They are in love with Buttchick.
