Saints released RB C.J. Spiller

Yates

Would we be interested?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I am interested.

(walks into bare room with no furnishings, eats from empty bowl, and gets into car with no wheels)

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

I would be, without knowing his health or why he's fallen out of favor. They said he was quicker than last year in TC.

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

We supposedly thought he was coming here last year before he went to New Orleans. So maybe - Bill often just moves on, though, so previous interests don't always manifest as current interests.

 

[Jackson 2]

No.

 

[Marqui]

Wow, he'd be a perfect fit here. Once Gronk gets back and they go to a primary 2-TE offense they'll need a starting RB that can run+catch well. Right now Lewis is the only RB on the roster that can do that and he's obviously hurt. He'd also give us a really good KR which we don't have now.

Assuming he's healthy they should be all over this.

James White > CJ Spiller

 

[crownontherocks]

If we do try to sign him who gets the boot?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Who's gonna get cut?

I'd like to see what Foster can do before bringing in someone like Spiller.

Can probably sneak Foster to the PS at this point.

 

[PatsBoy12]

What happened to this guy? Is it simply injuries?

 

[Deus Irae]

How far away is Lewis?
How likely is it that Foster will earn real time in the next couple of weeks?
How shot is Spiller?
Has White actually turned a corner with his running?

I assume BB believes that he has those answers, and will act accordingly.

Foster is a converted WR, I don't know why anyone would expect he'd be a great running RB.

 

[Marqui]

James White > CJ Spiller

Not at running the football. White can't do that at all.

 

[mgteich]

If Spiller has anything left, he is a no-brainer over Foster. As has been said, Spiller is also a kick returner, which may be becoming more important.

 

[JMC00]

No. He's shot

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Something's up - with spiller being cut the saints have now increased their dead money cap hit to $40 million.

 

[JMC00]

CJ Spiller can't either anymore 3.1 ypc last year

 

[Marqui]

CJ Spiller can't either anymore 3.1 ypc last year

*shrugs
That's like saying Chris Long definitely can't pass rush anymore because only 3 sacks last year.
