THAT being said, unless we NEED the roster space, or he was a locker room cancer - I would have tried him in the regular season... maybe it would have sparked his competitive desire.

Re: C.J. Spiller Released - Mistake or Necessity?
We had 4 fit cornerbacks and needed the space as Breaux cannot go to IR if Rankins is wanted back. Had to be done,would have been done after the season and may aswell eat the dead money ow and start fresh.

Mistake? waste of money sure but i said that the day we signed him.
Necessity? negative effect on cap makes this kind of silly. lets see what shakes out of this. |

Re: C.J. Spiller Released - Mistake or Necessity?
We took on an injured player
We gave him guaranteed money We gained minimal from him as he was injured We allowed him to get healthy Then we sent him out into free agency with no return on our investment Great job Mickey and Sean..... |

Re: C.J. Spiller Released - Mistake or Necessity?
There should have been an option for both. It was a mistake to sign him and it was a necessity to cut him. It was a cluster **** to guarantee so much to an injured player.

Re: C.J. Spiller Released - Mistake or Necessity?
I may be wrong in this thinking but I truly believe we tried to trade him. The problem is I don't think anyone wanted to take over that salary. I would think no matter the round draft pick he should have warranted, that the salary had to be the reason.

Re: C.J. Spiller Released - Mistake or Necessity?
According to Sean we did try, but we had to make roster moves and had to cut bait in a hurry. It is what it is. Onward and Upward. If it were me I'd try and trade for a solid (read 'starting') corner.
