Sorry, but I thought he was overrated before the injury. The fact that he's not even getting tryouts is pretty sad.

Spikes was great before his injury...he just never got back to that level after that. He did OK for the Eagles but he's definitely on the decline. He'd be a great coach someday, motivator.

No way. In his prime he was a beast who deserved every accolade he got.
His injury is a career-killer."It is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error." -- Martin Luther

TKO was good...pre-injury.
That injury basically ends any players career that has to be on the move constantly. See Jamir Miller.
I said it once he got the injury to part ways with him, stick a fork in em, he's done.

Re: Nobody wants Spikes?!
I'd take 2004 Spikes back in a heartbeat. The guy was a true competitor- he was unbelievable on the field and worked hard off the field to continuously improve. I can't remember the last time Buffalo had a player that skilled and that motivated simultaneously.
But we can't have 2004 Spikes. We'd have to settle for 2008 Spikes, and unfortunately that injury destroyed him. None of our starting LB's are better than Spikes career-wise, but all 3 of them are better than him physically at this point.
Plus, aging vets don't fit this team- anyone in a back up role better a) have a low salary and b) play special teams. No way Spikes accepts either of those conditions.
