I hope they re-sign Spikes. While I like Alonso, people forget how bad this team was against the run last year, and he was actually pretty weak against it. Also, a LB corps of Bradham, Alonso, and Preston Brown is incredibly inexperienced.

Point being, they are going to have to buck up for the guy, and they should.

"Honestly, I would just say I'm the happiest I've been since I've been in the NFL," Spikes says. "I will say that. I look forward to coming to work. I look forward to seeing the guys in the locker room every morning. It's been real, man. I loved every second of it. Even the grind. Even the time we were out in camp for five or six weeks. All of that, in the dorm rooms, it was great. I embraced it. They embraced me from day one. I love this place. I will definitely remember this place if I was to move on or whatever, this will be a special place for me. I'm happy again. I love the game again."

This quote came from Week 17 in the visiting locker room at Gillette Stadium – a place where Spikes spent the prior four years in the home team’s locker room.

He later said that he hasn’t put much thought into where he might end up or how he will explore free agency but he did reiterate his love for Buffalo. He added that he is ‘absolutely’ optimistic about staying in Orchard Park next year.

Only logic to keep him is if your getting a free agent qb and you spend your draft fixing the o line


otherwise it's a waste to keep him IMO

second rd center, move woods to guard
third rd TE
2 5th rd picks, use 1 for a guard and the other for DE
6th and 7th rd picks db,lb,s depth

Sucks that the Bills had to pay his arse 4 million when he quit on them. I bet the contract for Rex will be written with more diligence.

I don't think Brandon and rex had a secret Syracuse handshake for any parachute clauses

Can someone help me out - why does the media keep mentioning cap implications of the Ryan hire? Do coaches count against NFL teams' cap numbers?

Coach and non-player personnel salaries do not count against salary cap.

if i'm not mistaken, when the nfl introduced the salary cap, the patriots invested heavily in the coaching staff

Don't know much about previous bills ownership but it sounds like this is the area where Pegula can really flex his muscles (bank account/s). Unfortunately I still think it's all moot until they bring in a capable quarterback.

Ty. WGR, ESPN and one other made mention of his deal and cap. I wasn't sure what one had to do with the other.
