Eagles acquire Bills Spikes, and Holcomb for DT Darwin Walker, and conditional pick in 2008.
I don't know much about Walker, but I've always liked both Spikes and Holcomb.
Spikes was no where near his 2004 form last year after suffering a torn achilles in 2005, but I think he'll be a solid addition for Philly, as will Holcomb.
Solid DT and starter - probably better in a rotation however. A very decent DT, should fit in well. Honestly, I would be worried had we not just signed Reagor
Not bad, I like adding Spikes and I'm curious to see what he can do now for us. Great move, Walker is a solid DT, but wasn't too hot in run support last season. With Spikes on the roster, maybe we can work Trot on two downs now. I like this move a lot, hopefully this means secondary will be addressed with our round one pick.

If Walker works best in a rotation that is good cause we have a lot of good but not great DT's and will be rotating a lot.

Honestly, Walker was one guy we were looking to give up this year. We were horrible in run support and Walker wasn't any help there. In a rotation where he's not on the field every play, he might do well, but please don't expect great things out of him. It would not have surprised me, if he was cut sometime this year had we kept him. Maybe a change might be good for him.
