Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000457269/article/cj-spiller-excited-about-rex-ryan-leading-bills Speaking on NFL Network's The Aftermath on Monday, running back C.J. Spiller gushed about Ryan's style. "It strikes me well," Spiller said. "That's what I love to do is run the football. And Rex, that is what he's known for, running the football, being physical, playing that hard-nosed football. I'm excited about it. This is a great opportunity for us to get this thing turned around. We ended this season on a 9-7 record, now it's just time to build on that and get into the playoffs." That sounds like a guy that thinks or knows he is going to re-sign with the Bills. Who knows. Maybe he has spoken to Rex and Roman and Whaley, maybe not.
YoloinOhio Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 He is always a very positive person. I wouldn't say it means anything other than he likes Rex.
NickelCity Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I would too if Roman were the OC and i was a running back.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I forget-- does he have a player option he can exercise? If so, would be a no-brainer-- gives him a chance to make a huge splash and then try FA. He will thrive under Roman.

No, sportrac disproved that theory and stated that he reached certain parameters that negated the player option quite some time ago.
Peter Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000457269/article/cj-spiller-excited-about-rex-ryan-leading-bills That sounds like a guy that thinks or knows he is going to re-sign with the Bills. Who knows. Maybe he has spoken to Rex and Roman and Whaley, maybe not. I had the same impression. He uses "we" and the future tense a lot in the interview. As I have mentioned in other posts, his teammates love him, he loves Buffalo and the Bills, and he has a special talent if used properly.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 He is always a very positive person. I wouldn't say it means anything other than he likes Rex. True he is a positive person, but he is not dumb (outside of sometimes while carrying a football). I think he wouldn't have used those terms. He wouldn't have said "We." Or he would have prefaced it first, saying, "I hope I'm back..."
Peter Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 No, sportrac disproved that theory and stated that he reached certain parameters that negated the player option quite some time ago. I believe Chris Brown referred to an option in his piece today. Who knows what the actual situation is.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 No, sportrac disproved that theory and stated that he reached certain parameters that negated the player option quite some time ago. Interesting. Too bad. Well, I guess this presents opportunity for the bills to get him for a reasonable price. But I would expect some other team will overpay for him.
CardinalScotts Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I think it's us or Browns with Chan joining them (if he does = likely)
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 he isn't a fit here now either, so he should go where there is more of a spread philosophy.
JoeF Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Darren Sproles is currently on a 4 year, $14 million contract Reggie Bush is currently on a 4 year, $16 million contract
YoloinOhio Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Maybe we get him cheap because of "CJ up the middle for -2" Marrone- the gift that keeps on giving
Kirby Jackson Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Spiller at a Reggie Bush type of contract would be great. The Bills need his playmaking ability. If your offense isn't very good you need to hit some home runs. Spiller can do that.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Spiller at a Reggie Bush type of contract would be great. The Bills need his playmaking ability. If your offense isn't very good you need to hit some home runs. Spiller can do that. That's what we have Sammy for. Yet again, Spiller doesn't fit the mold
Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 I believe Chris Brown referred to an option in his piece today. Who knows what the actual situation is. I didn't think that is what he was referring to, the option, but rather just that if Spiller doesn't re-sign by the time FA starts, he will become one. He doesn't mention any option, if this is the article you're referring to. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2015/01/12/spiller-ive-got-chemistry-with-rex/ I forgot about the Clemson connection. I remember Watson knowing him.
....lybob Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 CJ Spiller or Mark Ingram if they cost the same who do you take?
JoeF Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Spiller at a Reggie Bush type of contract would be great. The Bills need his playmaking ability. If your offense isn't very good you need to hit some home runs. Spiller can do that. I might even go 5 years Kirby since he's still relatively young-- and bump it to $20 million -- back end load the base salaries... something like 5 years $21 million $6.5 million up front 1st year base - $1 million $1.5 million reporting bonus in year 2 2nd year base $1.5 million 3rd year base $2.5 million 4th year base $3.5 million 5th year base $4.5 million
John from Riverside Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I forget-- does he have a player option he can exercise? If so, would be a no-brainer-- gives him a chance to make a huge splash and then try FA. He will thrive under Roman. I am as high on the coach signings as anyone.....but please tell me how he would thrive under a OC who is known for a power running attack.
