I don't know if Eagles fans have more brains than Ravens fans or what, but the comments I have been reading seem to be in consensus that it was a fair trade for both teams. Most seem to realize that Spikes is probably in decline, but is an upgrade. The Bills get a pass rushing DT and save some green.

You dont normally see player for player trades anymore. I would love to think TKO had more value but we filled a big need.

You're right, it was all about the money. Walker won't help the Bills D-Line rortation at all.

Marv has come thru yet again. Darwin Walker is definitely going to help our DL, and of course we'll get a conditional draft pick in 2008 to boot.

I think this is a very fair deal for both teams. Spikes does have some great play left in him, and Philly fans are getting a player I wish could've been part of a Bills in 2007.

Overall if we lost Spikes I'm really happy we got a very good return.

Fair trade. Both teams filled needs; I've always liked Walker, so I'm happy to have him here. However, I'll still miss TKO.

What has Spikes done in the past 2 seasons?

Not much.......not as much of a loss as it may seem

I assume he was being sarcastic. Remember, he was responding to an FTP post.

Are you being sarcastic? I honestly can't tell.

The speculation is just a 7th rounder in 2008. I think it has to do with Holcomb making the roster, from what I read.
