Saints reached agreement with former Bills RB CJ Spiller. Saints backfield getting crowded: Spiller, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson.

Re: Saints signed RB CJ Spiller
 

YES

Re: Saints signed RB CJ Spiller
 

Tim Hightower

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

I forgot about Hightower. Ok this cool.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

I like Spiller gonna help us alot.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

3 completely different styles of running back.

How is that a crowded backfield??

Stick to reporting Shefty, not analyzing.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Nice pickup. Gonna be interesting how it pans out.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Dude, how do you game plan, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson, and CJ Spiller?

Now you draft that big nasty boy from Iowa, oh my. Are we allowed to average 200 yards per game running? Is that legal?

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Nice get. .. speed kills. Hope he still has it.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

was a broken collar bone not bum leg, I think he still does!!

Screen game will be sick with this cat.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller

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

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Let me guess: 14mil 6.5gtd

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

I like the signing. Nice to have options.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

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

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

That's like 6mil in cap savings?

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

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

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

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

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Khiry is gonna get cut!!!

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

why?

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

How are we going to afford 11 different draft picks?

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

be surprised

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

he needs to restruct or something. killing us. Id like to keep him for 2 more, but either he restructs or cut, unless we find a trade partner.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

They'll keep 4 running backs and it will be between Khiry and Hightower...If Hightower shows any signs of his Arizona days it's a wrap for Khiry

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

if they cut Evans i say trade everyone at that point and start all over. Evans may want out after all of this. any ways

SP just added another toy.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

I was against this at first but I'm starting to like it.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

2 - 1st
1 - 2nd
2 - 3rd
2 - 5ths
1 - 6th
1 - 7th

9 picks hmmm that can be done.

saints always trade up.

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

I LOVE this move. Not only does he fill the old Sproles role, he upgrades it. So pumped right now!

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

Great signing. No question marks on any of our RB's barring injury. Time to forge the lines. Trade the two 1's and get the best DL or OL player we can.

Spiller, pro center, best lineman pick > Jimmy

Re: Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
 

#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.
