seems like a move to free up some cap to get a stud WR.
EAGLES CUT SPIKES
When we mentioned on Saturday that Eagles linebacker Takeo Spikes wasn't on the depth chart any longer and inferred that this could be a sign that the Eagles might be dumping him at some point in the future, Eagles web guy Dave Spadaro called us "absurd" and "stupid" and "incontinent." (Okay, we're exaggerating. He didn't call us stupid.)
Regardless, Spikes is now no longer an Eagle.
According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network and our friends at WIP radio in Philly, Spikes has been cut.
The move creates an immediate $5 million in cap space.
Spikes was traded with quarterback Kelly Holcomb and a late-round pick from the Bills to the Eagles in 2007 for defensive tackle Darwin Walker, who eventually was traded to the Bears. None of the three players currently is under contract with any NFL team.
