Linebacker Brandon Spikes signed a one year deal to return to the Patriots. He spent 4 years with the Pats before leaving for Buffalo in 2014.

Spikes is a fantastic run stopper. He had 174 tackles, 1 sack, 4 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, 2 picks and 14 defensed passes while with the Patriots.

Nice pick up for the Pats. They need the depth at linebacker with Dont'a Hightower and Jerod Mayo returning from injuries.
