The Eagles have acquired linebacker Takeo Spikes and QB Kelly Holcomb from the Bills for DT Darwin Walker and a late 2008 draft pick.  The Eagles decided that they needed another QB and LB and they traded from a position of strength as they are well fortified at defensive tackle.  Spikes played in 12 games for the Bills last season and he made 70 tackles, had a sack, defensed 3 passes and forced a fumble.  Holcomb didn’t play last season for the Bills.  Holcomb has played in 34 games (21 starts) and he has completed 523 of 810 passes (64.6%) for 5,401 yards with 37 TD passes and 37 interceptions (79.9 QB Rating).  He also has run the ball 43 times for 30 yards (0.7 ypc) with 1 TD run.  This was a good trade for both teams.
