Sign the Beast LV: sounds like Brandon Spikes is kissing up to Bill to come back

http://itiswhatitis.weei.com/sports...18/lb-brandon-spikes-bill-belichick-a-genius/

I wouldn't mind him back on the cheap to stuff the run now with wilfork gone. sounds like there is no market for him out there

Low salary with no guarantees would be a great pickup, if nothing else to cover for potential setbacks of Mayo and Hightower while they're rehabbing.

I'd love to see Spikes return (a bit more mature...) but not sure he'd have much of a role but if he's okay with that then sure. Was of the most clutch defenders we've had over the years. One things for sure, when you get hit by Brandon Spikes you stop right in your tracks.

I would kiss Bill's butt too for a year at the vet minimum.

We all assume Spikes wore out his welcome with BB, which he likely did, but he was always fantastic in his role for us (2 down run stuffer, not his expanded role due to injuries).

Vet minimum + no guaranteed money = sign the beast.

Man, Buffalo must have been really bad. Last I heard, playing for the Pats was four years of slavery, amazing what a bit of context can do!

I guess I wouldn't hate seeing him back on a one-year veteran minimum deal with no guarantees, but any more than that and no thanks. He would be our fourth best linebacker, and he's utterly useless against the pass. Let someone else spend too much money on him.

Can he play DE?

He called his time with the Patriots as "4 years a slave". So I am confused, does he want to come back to NE and be a , you know?

No. Just no!

For all you kids out there.

always end work relationships on a positive note.

This is why.

I think if he saw the movie, "12 Years A Slave" his perspective would be slightly different. Idiot.

I really don't want him back. Good vs the run but hes not a fit really here anymore.

I wouldn't mind Spikes back for one main reason, his game time intensity and swagger that could help offset what we lost in Browner.....

Sure he's a one-trick pony and made some idiot remarks but he's damned good at that one trick

Spikes is the epitome of a beast.

While spikes can play I am not a fan of any player who publicly badmouths the team and FO. Its just bad business and it dosent set a positive image for potential players who are thinking of coming here. The Pats lose out on players because of this crap.

Stockholm Syndrome

I was actually thinking about this earlier today but I didn't think Spikes would consider it. I like the idea of Belichick bringing him back as a role player, he brings intensity and he's a banger. As far as Belichick goes he has a history of letting those kind of comments slide if he thinks the player can help them (e.g... Revis and Law). I hope they get this done.

I'm for it on the cheap as Spikes makes the front 7 better in certain situations.

He's desperate to continue his career, it sounds, if he's willing to continue it playing maybe 20 snaps a game at most and not making a lot it definitely doesn't hurt.
