Spiking It

Former Pats LB Brandon Spikes lit up Twitter with his strong remarks about his time in Foxborough. He referred to his tenure as "four years of slavery". He also said his new team, the Buffalo Bills, will beat the Pats twice this season.

I don't think anyone, including Spikes, thought he would get another contract with the Pats. He was placed on IR before the start of the playoffs with a knee injury. He claimed he was ok to play and that it was in retaliation for missing a team meeting.

Spikes was criticized for never living up to his second round potential. Maybe it will be better for him in Buffalo. His remarks burned any bridges back to Foxborough.

Patrick Chung left as a free agent last year. Things didn't work out with the Eagles. The Pats had no problem taking him back because he left on good terms.
