Lions targeting LB Spikes: The Detroit Free-Press reports that the Lions are trying to agree to terms with free-agent LB Takeo Spikes on a contract before the start of training camp. The Lions see Spikes competing for the strong-side LB job as well as working in nickel packages. (Updated 07/23/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Spikes has never been a statistical beast and certainly won't register as one with the Lions unless he lands more playing time than anyone expects him to have. Keep him off of IDP rosters whether he signs with the Lions or not. (Updated 07/23/2008).
LB Takeo Spikes worked out for the Lions last week, and the team hopes to sign him soon. "I think there's a chance if we can come to terms that we could get him before camp," coach Rod Marinelli said Wednesday. However, Spikes continues to weigh situations with other teams as well. With Detroit, Spikes would be penciled in on the strong side. 07/24/2008
