We have our new Sproles/Bush type

Spiller's best season came in 2012, when he gained 1,703 total yards (1,244 rushing and 459 receiving) and scored a career-high eight touchdowns.

Spiller told the New York Daily News in January that he "had [his] best years in the league" under New York Jets offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, who served as Bills head coach from 2010-2012.

Gailey's spread-style offense allowed the elusive Spiller to excel in the open field. When Doug Marrone took over as Bills coach in 2013 and implemented more of a power-running scheme, Spiller was used on more between-the-tackles runs and his production declined.

The #Saints deal with CJ Spiller is a 4-year deal, I’m told. Not a short-term investment (@AdamSchefter first had him signing).

The Saints may have to release RG Jahri Evans to make cap space for C.J. Spiller.

That's like 6mil in cap savings?

Someone else may be better answering that question for you. I'm not well versed with that.

Yes. In 2015. Cap hit of $11M minus Dead Money of $5M = $6M 2015 savings.
