cj spiller on the trade block

[ricardo22compleano]

would you make a trade for cj spiller  if we give up a 4th  or 5th rounder?

[Ja Rhule]

No,  we committed  to Stewart and Williams for at least 1 more year and not by choice.

[B.BERSIN]

5, yes.

[BigBoss]

Yes sir! I think he really has the goods, just not in the right situation. He's still young

[pantherclaw]

Thought this was covered already.

[Squirrel]

Thought this was covered already.

 

Some people dont read threads and the other didnt hint of Spiller

[camycamcan]

No

[cbully]

> 2.5 yard Reeves.... so yes and at the end of the day dwill/ tol/ or stew has to go soon if not more than one..... this is far too much invested in a backfield healthy or not. Getts knows this and RR too!

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

To be fair the Bills do not utilize him properly and run him between the tackles. Spiller is meant to work in space and has home-run ability every time he touches the ball in space. I think people forget how electric he is when he gets the ball and he would give us a dynamic return man on kick offs as well.

That said, I have 0 faith that Shula could use him properly and right now we really can't afford to be investing more in the running back position although he would instantly be the most explosive play maker on this offense outside of #1.

[TheMaulClaw]

4th or 5th.....Yep. 

 

A lot of money dedicated to the position or not, we need a rb.

[London Loves Luke]

OP, if you're gonna start a thread at least put some context or evidence in your post...

 

1. C.J. Spiller signed a 5 year / $25.67 million contract in 2010 with the Buffalo Bills, including a $2,000,000 signing bonus, $11,854,169 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $5,134,417.

 

He's due to make 5.9m this year and is a free agent with 4.4m projected as UDFA. I don't think we can manage that with Cam's negotiations ongoing and if we do, we're gonna likely face competition from Philly, Baltimore and the Vikings. 

 

And if we did pick him up we'd likely be paying 3 running backs over $20m next year. So no.

 

[Panther_Brotherhood]

Dont worry, even if we do get him, he'll probably get injured putting on his pants on gameday. Or he'll fumble the pen when signing the contract.

sincerely, a pissed off FF CJ Spiller owner the past 4 years

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

We are severely lacking speed and YAC ability all over our offense. Spiller brings that and more.

I just can't see us investing more resources in the running back position, sadly. I'd love to see Spiller here but not at the expense of bringing in competent offensive linemen or extending the core of our team down the line.

[pantherclaw]

Do I want him in the Panthers backfield? Yes.

Do I believe for even 1 second, that the Panthers will grab him? Nope.
