Takeo Spikes
The next player on this list is another player that the Buffalo Bills traded to the Philadelphia Eagles when they sent starting linebacker Takeo Spikes in 2007, along with Kelly Holcomb, for defensive tackle Darwin Walker and a conditional draft pick.
The Buffalo Bills signed Spikes as a free agent in 2003 and he would go on to have Pro Bowl seasons his first two years in Western New York. After an injury-shortened 2005 season, Spikes started 11 games and had 70 total tackles and one sack.
Spikes would spend one season with the Eagles before playing three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and finishing his career with two seasons with the Chargers.
While he never returned to the Pro Bowl, he still was an excellent linebacker with three of those five seasons registering 95 or more tackles. He also showed to be very durable by starting every game but one over the final four seasons.
