It's one of the upcoming topics on NFL Insiders on ESPN right now. Interested to hear what they say. Nothing on twitter about it yet so it might be a false alarm but we should know soon...

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.

he actually doesn't have a player option. It automatically voided in 2012 based on production qualifiers.

 

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.

Nothing wrong with CJ Spiller if he's used correctly and gets some decent blocking. Unfortunately Marrone could provide him with neither.

 

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.

The entire "player option" thing was one big misunderstood (and mis-reported) mess. Here is an article that clarifies it a little more...

More speculation, but heard some of the talking heads speculate that Chris Johnson would not be back with the Jests next season....Spiller would be a decent substitution...

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.
