Linebacker Takeo Spikes denied a report out of the agent community that he is headed to Buffalo Monday
I still hope he is coming.
Good news however.
But the biggest guy on the Bengals’ list _ literally and figuratively _ doesn’t need to come to town. The agent for Raiders defensive tackle Sam Adams said the Bengals received his proposal Sunday, but Angelo Wright said that management is waiting to huddle with Lewis Monday before making the next move.
A deal with Adams could end Spikes’ career in Cincinnati. The Bengals would have to decide if they can afford both and still get through free agency in pursuit of a cornerback, safety, and a guard/center.
That would be tough given that the transition tag on Spikes costs $4.8 million and defensive linemen are getting some big numbers in this market. Cletidus Hunt got $6 million to stay in Green Bay and Daryl Gardner is supposedly on the verge of getting $5 million from the Broncos. Even Montae Reagor, who has started just one game for the Broncos, got a big number with a $2 million bonus from the Colts.
