I have been reading all the threads on why we should or should not make a run @ Takeo Spikes and they all make valid points.
As I think about this move, the one person that keeps popping into my head is Rodney Harrison.
Consider the things being said about Spikes as arguments for NOT signing him:
"What has this guy got left in the tank?"
"He was an impact player earlier in his career, but the past couple of years, he has fallen off..."
Etc. etc.
Just sounds like the same stuff people were saying about Rodney.
There is something about these older players that come to New England under Belichick and revive their careers (Harrison, Corey Dillon, Bryan Cox, Randy Moss) and I have no reason to believe Spikes could not do the same.
The guy is an impact player when he is "on his game" and with our holes at LB, why not take a shot at him?
