The Philadeplhia Eagles have announced the acquisition of linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb from the Bills, for defensive tackle Darwin Walker and a 2008 late-round draft pick.
Spikes is signed through 2008, at base salaries of $4.5 million and $5 million this year and next. Holcomb also is inked through 2008, at $1.485 million and $1.535 million.
And Walker is signed through 2008, at base salaries of $1.3 million and $1.4 million.
Though the arrival of Spikes had been the subject of rumors throughout the day, the inclusion of Holcomb in the deal makes us wonder whether the Eagles really think that A.J. Feeley is ready to serve as the primary backup to Donovan McNabb. Which raises (again) the question of whether the Eagles should have tried to keep Jeff Garcia.
