Put a Price Tag on CJ Spiller

[KendrickPanther]

With Shady McCoy going to the Bills It's become clear CJ Spiller is on the open market. He wants to get paid but he's coming off a tough year at a devalued position. He's an offensive weapon but not an every down player. He was drafted in 2010 when high draft picks got overpaid. So let's do a huddle price check?

 

What is he worth to-

The Panthers:

Himself:

The league:

 

The league would basically be his highest bidder and ultimately what he signs for.

 

 

My price tags:

The Panthers: 3 years 7 million

Himself:    5 years  40 million

The league:  5 years 25 million

$4-5 million a year is probably what he'll get and it wouldn't surprise me if Philly signs him.

[Cwood722]

Chip Kelly and the Eagles are going to sign him.

[MHS831]

I would not have a RB on my roster on a second contract if I were a GM.  When they start their decline at age 26, you are most certainly going to overpay.  RBs would be like college players--every four years, they graduate.

[CBDellinger]

He's sooooooo soft.

 

No thanks.

[t96]

Vet min, your numbers are outrageously high.

[Snake]

He is not worth anymore than a return man to us. Still I could see other teams being lured by his speed.

[Mr. Scot]

Lower than he thinks it should be

[L-TownCat]

I'd take him for a show-me-deal.

 

Show you can be healthy and productive and we'll talk.

[KendrickPanther]

Right or wrong someone will pay him. He's explosive and exciting.

[O-Ther]

Worried that Atlanta might pay him. CJ in a dome, on turf, and in a 1 cut and go zone blocking system.

If he still has his speed, and can stay on the field, then he could be an excellent weapon in both the return game and catching passes out of the backfield.  Big if's though.

This.  

 

For everyone that wants Ginn, Jones, Harris to help our special teams, I would say Spiller is a much better fit than any of those.  All of those WRs are #4s here and wouldn't contribute to the offense the way CJ would next to Stewart.  Spiller could get 8-10 rushes a game and step in as a starter if JStew hits the exercise bike, like we've all seen during his career. 

 

Problem is, he probably wants too much and I can see a team with more cap space giving it to him.  He went to Clemson so there would be some local ties here, though he was a superstar in high school in FL.  If the price is right, I'd certainly welcome him here to help our ST.
