LB Spikes talking to Lions
Posted: Sunday July 20, 2008 08:44AM ET
Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes visited the Lions this week, a Lions official confirmed to the Free Press. Spikes is a free agent after he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles in March. The Lions could use another linebacker. The Lions lost Boss Bailey and Teddy Lehman this off-season. They drafted rookie Jordon Dizon in the second round to join Paris Lenon and Ernie Sims. Other linebackers on the roster include: Tyrone Pruitt, Alex Lewis, Anthony Cannon, Gilbert Gardner, Alfred Fincher, Caleb Campbell and Buster Davis.

ever notice how when Takeo leaves a team it gets better (bengals, bills)? I say buy Philly stock, sell short detroit.

Report Offensive CommentI just cannot see Spikes going to the Tigers. He's a football player. Does Detroit have a football team?

Report Offensive CommentThe only way a player chooses to play for the Lions, is if it also counts towards their community service!

Report Offensive CommentAh-oh. If they land Spikes, there goes the Bears hopes down the toilet again.

Report Offensive CommentThis guy talks a big game but doesn't deliver when needed.
Any wonder why he's never been in the playoffs in his career?
I'm glad the Eagles released him.

Report Offensive Commentouch Mr. Miyagi.......but soo true. I swear Millen hits a crack pipe before making personell decisions. No one can be that dumb naturally.
