billsfan89 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Spikes one year deal mid level money, really nice deal for both. Spikes gets decent money on a prove it type deal while the Bills get some help at MLB in the run department. He is a liability in the passing game for sure but we can work around that. Overall I like the signing, its an earth shattering type signing but considering how the team lacked a presence in the run game and LB's overall its a nice deal. Edited March 15, 2014 by billsfan89
Delete This Account Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 i like Chris Trapasso. good guy. glad he got this first. jw
purple haze Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Could be they plan to draft a MLB but want to give him a year to develop, so use Spikes this coming season, let him move on and play the guy you draft this year in 2015. Yep. I believe they will draft an ILB. I’d look for it in round 3. Skov or Borland would make me feel good about the future possibilities. Not the most athletic, but the most heart and great production.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV8HA0CdLsg Looking forward to that chopping wood move he does... I have a feeling he's going to regret saying anything bad about Buffalo after hearing the Bills Stampede at the Ralph when the D is on the field.
purple haze Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 All of the spikes reports have come from hack wannabe sources. I'm afraid they may have jinxed it Hack? Wannabe? Jinx? Say again? LoL If Wawrow is reporting it then it is 100% correct. He will not report on speculation or BS. He will report only when the story is confirmed by a direct source. It is AP protocol. Trapasso, Bob, others can suck a ... because they knew nothing but the obvious situation and had a high probability of being right. Obvious is obvious, now they can beat their chests to this, but Trapasso, Rodrak, and Bob are hacks. Give ‘em their credit. They said he was signing earlier in the day. B4 your legit journalists. Won’t be that way all the time, but for today, give the credit where it’s due. Folks saying they were wrong were themselves wrong.
FluffHead Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Hack? Wannabe? Jinx? Say again? LoL So he gained some cred today, Good for him. Sorry if I am not quick to trust bloggers who have nothing to lose if they are wrong. I could have put it out there on my twitter that Spikes was signed once the Bills announced he was in the building this afternoon too.
johnwalter Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 And why is that, just because they lost Byrd? Aaron Williams played well at safety last year and will take over at FS now. The Bills planned for this by drafting Duke who I like and Meeks last year and still have Searcy to battle it out for SS spot I don't see it as a need why do you think aaron williams will move to FS?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm surprised, glad to finally get a quality FA.
FluffHead Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Rivers had previously tweeted he would wear 51. Looks like he gave it up already for spikes. @rivers55: For the homie @BrandonSpikes55 http://t.co/b9OUTT1v3x Edited March 15, 2014 by FluffHead
IDBillzFan Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Phase one of the UB plan is complete. Phase two: spread rumours of khalil Mack being a raging alcoholic who abuses farm animals. He drops to 9, we pick him and start planning the super bowl parade. That's some damn fine humor. Damn fine.
Kevin Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Ok, look folks. This is a good free agent pick up here, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Planning a Super Bowl parade (sarcasm, I know) but some of us are planning it as we speak, y'all know it's true. Take a deep breath, we as fans still have the draft too look forward to. A lot of time between now and the season opener. But I'm excited as hell right now though!

K D Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm happy the deal finally got done but I'm bummed it's only 1 yr. Would have liked 2 or 3. At least we know he's going to play hard knowing its a contract year but we are going to be bummed when he's one and done
Billsguy Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I almost feel bad for laughing at their moves earlier in the week. Other than Williams, very impressive since. Ebron or Evans in the first and OT in the second. Might have a playoff roster here now folks.. I've heard this story before. I heard it for the last twelve years in fact. I'll be impressed when they win games.
Peter Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I just read that Spikes has missed 12 tackles in 4 years. For context, Kiko missed 10 tackes in his first year. Source: Rob Quinn on Twitter.
