#Saints gave CJ Spiller a 4-year deal worth $18M, source said. $9M guaranteed, $5M signing bonus. Can void the 4th year based on performance

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

This guy is a bigger faster Sproles.

We now have an incredible 1-2 punch.

And with Khiry and Hightower our 3rd and 4th punch ain't too shabby either.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Id really like to see Scherff or Collins come in now.
Wouldnt trade up but if one falls id like to see that move

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Sounds like we've sorted our backfield issues out

Ellerbe helps and I think we'll draft an LB

I wonder how we'll address WR?

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Booby and Deke mentioned last night how impressed the staff was with Seantavious Jones and Brandon Coleman.

Obviously they're still projects but I imagine they'll be fighting for those 4th/5th and 6th spots.

Oh, and don't forget...Amari Cooper will be a Saint in a couple months :p

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

That's why the Kenny Stills trade took me by surprise, going towards the draft I was pretty much certain our pick would be LB or CB

We all know how Payton plays games, add WR into the list of needs and how could he resist drafting a target for Drew.

Linebacker was a bigger area of need in my opinion, that was until we traded Kenny.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

I peeped at the roster earlier in the week and saw Tim Hightower...
In my mind I asked, "same Tim Hightower?"
Barring injury, I don't think we will have RB troubles.
I hope Payton is at the computer banging out some single-back set run plays.
...Spiller in motion...any of the others 7 yards deep

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

If all goes to plan we shouldn't have RB problems for another 4 years!

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Hightower and Robinson will fight it out for the third running back position. God I love Robinson and want him on this roster. OMG we could be good at RB.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

He and Hightower will fight it out for the third RB position. Hmmm.... do we need a traditional FB? I think so. I wonder what body type Payton wants to add now? Perhaps a bruiser.
