Takeo Gone -- One Fewer Profile to Write

From WIP by way of G Cobb by way of Wingheads, TKO is no mo':

Anthony Gargano of 610-WIP just reported that the Eagles have released veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes. That frees up $5 million dollars and could be a preliminary move to something positive. This doesn't surprise me at all and was something I was expecting.

In light of my massively, couldn't-be-more-wrong prediction about Asante, please note the date here.  Two months to the day before Trotter was even released.  That oughta get me back above the Mendoza line, at least.

As for this move, yes, it is a bad thing when your defensive coordinator says you're "fine."  I think all Eagles fans liked Takeo though, even though he didn't totally pan out for us here.  The only guys who are happy about this move are probably Stewart Bradley and the PE.com guy who no longer has to write the TKO profile for tomorrow:
