Saints sign CJ Spiller

So are the Saints essentially changing their whole offensive scheme and switching to a more ground and pound offense because they realize Brees' arm not what it used to be and he just can't play like he used to?

 

looks that way.  Plus Brees doesn't have anyone to throw to anymore!!!

@Saints did it right with Reggie Bush, informing him he

wasn’t going to have a homecoming after all, before signing

With CJ Spiller agreeing 2 deal w/ Saints, would seem 2 be 1

less team 4 Patriots 2 compete w/ 4 Reggie Bush. I see Bush

as ideal scheme fit

CJ Spiller's deal w/ the #Saints : $18M total value. $9M GTD,

including a $5M signing bonus. Deal could void to 3-years

based on performance.

Spiller was electric when he was running outdoors, in freezing

cold weather. Now he's inside, on carpet? Gonna be a problem

for defenses.

The football fit in New Orleans for @CJSPILLER is tremendous.

#Saints fans, you've got one helluva backfield with Spiller and

For #Saints fans, the prospect of having a two-headed RB

attack of CJ Spiller and Mark Ingram has got to be exciting.

from his article for Yahoo:

"Could C.J. Spiller be free agency's top steal among RBs? ... could C.J. Spiller end up becoming the steal of the class? At least seven teams have interest in the running back, multiple league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Among them are the three other teams in the AFC East – the New York Jets, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.

...

The Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions are the other teams that have interest in Spiller, league sources said.

...

Is Spiller, who turns 28 in August, an every down back? He certainly was in 2012 and 2013 ... He's been a bit of a forgotten man after suffering a clavicle injury in Week 7 last year...But Spiller has played in 70 out of 80 games, with 7 of those 10 missed games coming in 2014 with the broken collarbone.

...

Over his first four seasons (2010-2013), Spiller generated 5,550 all-purpose yards (he also returned kicks) ... In that span, he averaged 5.1 yards per carry while rushing for 3,021 yards and displayed versatility with 139 receptions for 1,070 yards."

Why not just keep Sproles last year?

Oh well. More power to them. We won the division the last 2 years and were in cap hell. NFC south needs to make moves now to get better because the Panthers are only going to get better from here.
