KDIGGZ Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) It's one of the upcoming topics on NFL Insiders on ESPN right now. Interested to hear what they say.

Buftex Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think everyone is assuming that the Bills will not re-sign him and let him become a free-agent...I am guessing it will be them "speculating" what most here, and other places have assumed already.

That's assuming he wants to re-sign and not test the market with his new agent. Makes sense for him to go to the Jets with Gailey, except that they are pretty set at RB as far as I know.

KDIGGZ Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Blahh just speculation. "Seems likely they won't keep him. He will look for an offense that better suits his skill set."

BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Doesn't he have to turn down his option for next year first? Or am I misunderstanding the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Doesn't he have to turn down his option for next year first?

I know the NFL free agents article made sure to state that CJ needed to void his contract to be a free agent. I just wasn't sure exactly why they made that distinction.

1billsfan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Nothing wrong with CJ Spiller if he's used correctly and gets some decent blocking. Unfortunately Marrone could provide him with neither. Â I'd love to have him back at the right price. Watkins, Spiller and Manuel could provide some real serious misdirection problems with the right play calls. I'd like to keep him a grab an offensive lineman with that 50th pick.

dave mcbride Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I fully expect him to be playing for another team next year. He does not fit Ryan and Roman's profile at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The money needed to re-sign Spiller needs to be used elsewhere. He won't be a Bill next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 CJ doesn't really fit the kind of running style Rex is probably going to run imo. They need a pounder that can carry the ball 20+ times a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing Man Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 CJ doesn't really fit the kind of running style Rex is probably going to run imo. They need a pounder that can carry the ball 20+ times a game. Right on the mark. Ryan will never put up with a running back who runs for negative three yards and then comes to the sideline for a winder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Â Interesting. I know the NFL free agents article made sure to state that CJ needed to void his contract to be a free agent. I just wasn't sure exactly why they made that distinction. I saw that too. It seems as though there is confusion about whether he can simply stay on the team by not choosing to opt out or whether it has happened automatically. Â At this point, I have no idea.

Bangarang Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I'm fine with letting CJ walk. He's just not a guy you want carrying the load and there's not much need to use him as just a situational or part time player when we have other capable backs on the roster.

I agree, however, Roman seems to like bruisers at RB (Frank Gore) and I'm betting Spiller doesn't fit the plan. I am OK for Spiller to move on. I bet Gailey will scoop him up and for good reason. Would like to see Bills pick up another RB to push Fred and Boobie ... I'm still not convinced Boobie is worthy of sharing reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section242 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The real question is Free Agency, Draft, or Status Quo for the Bills assuming his departure  Bryce Brown isn't good enough to be in the league.

billsfan89 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Not a huge loss if the team lets him go. Upgrade the O-line and it will upgrade the running game. I think CJ can be productive in a Darren Sproles like role. But this team shouldn't pay more than role player money to keep CJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tu-Toned Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I really liked what I saw of Bryce Brown last year. He was awesome on those swing passes out of the backfield and also can be that pound and ground guy that Rex favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not fit Ryan and Roman's profile at all.You're probably right but I hate that. He can be so dangerous if used right. He isn't Bettis like Marrone tried to use him. Â The 49ers did draft LaMichael James so maybe Roman would like a bigger better version of hjm. I really liked what I saw of Bryce Brown last year. He was awesome on those swing passes out of the backfield and also can be that pound and ground guy that Rex favors. I think the Bryce Brown hype is matching the Kirk Cousins hype.

He has fumble issues with the Eagles too. He never did much in college either. He's had like 2 games of good play in his career. I don't get it. spiller is such a far superior back.
