Price right for Falcons

‘With Moulds already a superstar and the promise shown last year by rookie Josh Reed, the Bills believe they have some depth at the receiver position. They also re-signed veteran Charles Johnson yesterday.’

Toronto Sun | Mar 8, 2003

Peerless finally a Falcon

‘The Falcons tried to swing a deal without sending this year’s first-round pick to Buffalo, instead offering either a second-round pick this season or next year’s first-rounder. Donahoe didn’t bite.’

Atlanta Journal Constitution | Mar 8, 2003

Falcons' salesmanship 'breathtaking'

‘Price still was grinning Friday at the Falcons’ headquarters over the week-old memory. “The video, the private jet. Everything was just breathtaking,” he said, before recalling a time before his last four seasons with the Buffalo Bills. In fact, it was long before he helped the University of Tennessee to a national championship. “I haven’t felt like that since I was going on recruiting trips for college,” said Price, shaking his head.’

Atlanta Journal Constitution | Mar 8, 2003

Bengals sign LB Hardy to 4-year deal

‘Spikes’ Buffalo offer calls for $9 million to sign, and his total first-year pay could be $11.5 million with a $1 million base salary and a $1.5 million roster bonus. The deal is worth $18.2 the first three years if Spikes makes one Pro Bowl.’

Cincinnati Enquirer | Mar 8, 2003

Spikes gets offer, Bengals ink Hardy

‘Price’s exit gave Buffalo the cap space to pursue defensive help. The Bills’ immediate target was Spikes. They want him to replace 33-year-old Eddie Robinson as the starting right outside linebacker.’

Dayton Daily News | Mar 8, 2003

Bengals ink Hardy, appear ready to let Spikes go

‘The Bengals still have seven days to determine whether or not to match the six-year, $30 million-plus offer sheet Spikes received from the Bills and keep him in the fold. But Friday’s moves were a strong indication that Cincinnati was prepared to let its best defensive player walk and stock its roster with athletes who wanted to be a part of the team’s effort to pull itself out of the muck.’

Fox Sports | Mar 8, 2003

Buffalo Bills Sign Bengals Linebacker Spikes to Offer Sheet

‘Spikes has led the Bengals in tackles in four of his five seasons in the National Football League. Cincinnati named Spikes its transition player last month, allowing them to match any contract offer he receives.’

Bloomberg | Mar 8, 2003

Hardy signing could seal Spikes' departure

In a move that indicates the Bengals won’t match the Bills’ offer to Takeo Spikes, the agent for Cowboys linebacker Kevin Hardy said Friday night his client has agreed in principle to a four-year deal in Cincinnati.

Spikes gets Pro Bowl deal

Buffalo is believed to have offered Spikes a six-year deal that gives him more guaranteed money than Brooking’s $11.2 million, and a contract that gives him more than Brooking’s $17.4 million over the first three years of the deal.

Bengals.com | Mar 8, 2003

Price gives Falcons new dimension

‘Sure, the Falcons surrendered their first-round draft pick to Buffalo, but when you’re drafting 23rd tell me where you find a wide receiver to step in and make an immediate difference. You don’t.’

Fox Sports | Mar 8, 2003

Bengals have seven days to match offer

‘The contract, negotiated by agent Todd France over a two-day period, is for six years and believed to be worth about $32 million. Spikes will earn over $17 million in the first three years of the contract.’

ESPN | Mar 8, 2003

Price Is Right for Atlanta Falcons

‘"I’m more than a deep threat. If given the opportunity I feel I can take a five-yard slant the distance also."’

Reuters | Mar 8, 2003

Buffalo make offer to LB Spikes

‘Asked how serious he was about joining the Bills, Spikes said: “Yeah, I would not have come if it weren’t for real.”’

AP | Mar 8, 2003

Bills sign transition free agent LB Spikes to offer sheet

‘"We could have put together an offer sheet even if we didn’t make the trade, but yes there is more room (under the cap)," Bills general manager Tom Donahoe said after tendering the offer sheet.’

BillsBeat - March 7, 2003

President/GM Tom Donahoe Talks About Bills Activity

"Not too bad at this point but we have a long way to go. It's amazing that we've only been in free agency for a week but it seems like 10 years. We had a couple of things that we wanted to try to do quickly. For us linebacker was obviously a priority, tight end was a priority. We have some other things to do. The offer to Takeo will put us in a holding pattern for a while but we have other things to do yet."
