Worst kept secret of the year?

BUFFALO BILLS - BENGALS DECLINE TO MATCH SPIKES OFFER
Bengals.com reports the Cincinnati Bengals have declined to match the offer sheet given to LB Takeo Spikes by the Buffalo Bills, making Spikes a member of the Bills. The Bills will owe the Bengals a first-round draft choice in this year's NFL Draft as compensation for signing Spikes.

"Takeo has been a good player for the Bengals and in the community, and I wish him good luck with his career in Buffalo," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "Today is the beginning of a new day in the Bengal organization, and in the shaping of the football team under my direction."



I wonder how good he feels about being reunited with Dick LeBeau so soon...

[JayM09]

not a surprise, this was expected to happen.

[kashikis]

hell really help that defense out and with LeBeau there they could turn it around pretty quick

[Roseman]

So the Bills have to give them the pick they got from Atlanta to the Bengals right?

If that is true than they traded Spikes for Price but in essence they traded Bledsoe for price fo therefore they traded Price and a 1st for Spikes and Bledsoe that seems like a good deal to me

[slowkidz]

alright...now im utterly confused!

cant we just be happy that a good player finally made it out of the black hole we call bengals territory...

[fntsyrookie]

Well he got out, which is what he wanted. Nice pick up for the Bills.

[Nero]

Yeah we can...except that we were all rooting for that player to be Corey Dillon

this is merely a teaser

[chaindog35]

Now the Bengals have two 1st rd picks to piss away

[Slingblade]

yep chaindog...piss away down the toilet

[hayesb26]

i still think they should have put the franchise on him and then traded him after they got him signed. couldda got alot more than a "pick to piss away"
