09:00 AM ET 03.29 | The 49ers are still in the running for Takeo Spikes, but they are not the linebacker's only suitors. Spikes, who played last season for the Eagles, also is being courted by New England, New Orleans and Cleveland.

I was sad when he left the Bills..I do hope he goes somewhere other than the AFC East, that way he would be one less threat to worry about twice during the season.

We'll gladly take him

March 29, 2008  11:57 AM ET

Don't go to the 49ers (with that bum should) PLEASE!
Go to the PATS,
were you'll get a chance at a ring!!!

Why are teams let'n him go??? I thought he was a top 10 MLB

March 29, 2008  12:15 PM ET

There does not seem to be much of a market for the guy. He has been out there for a while now and not many interested teams. I am surprised he has fallen so far regardless of the injury.

March 29, 2008  12:29 PM ET

Spikes isn't what he used to be and the Pats do love getting these old guys and making them play.

March 29, 2008  01:38 PM ET

Where ever he goes, that team is destined to miss the playoffs. It's a shame because he's a good player and a likeable guy.

March 29, 2008  01:47 PM ET

yea i was sad when he left buffalo as well. i loved him. but he has lost a step with his speed since that achilles tendon tear. but he probably still hits like a truck. and btw he plays right outside linebacker

March 29, 2008  02:06 PM ET

He talks a big game, but didn't do much for the Eagles last season, then got injured near end of season.
There may be a reason why he's never been in a playoff game.

March 29, 2008  05:04 PM ET

Go to New Orleans. We'd be very happy to have him!!!

March 29, 2008  05:43 PM ET

Go to Carolina, we love overrated LB's... Just look at Dan Morgan

March 29, 2008  05:44 PM ET

Come the the Panthers... We Love overrated LB's just look at Dan Morgan

March 29, 2008  06:40 PM ET

go to the browns

March 29, 2008  06:41 PM ET

He'll be with the Pats. He'd be stupid to go anywhere else.

I remember another player that a team gave up on. He went to the Patriots. What was his name.....Oh yeah, Wes Welker, tie in the NFL for most receptions 112.

No, that was Nick Saban helping out a friend (Classless Bill) and both the GM and the owner falling asleep at the wheel.
