CJ Spiller?

I'm mostly asking as he's a former Saint and although older, Fox and crew showed some interest in the other CJ (Anderson) last year. There are a lot of questions about whether Langford can carry the load. And whether he can consistently catch out of the backfield. Spiller does that.

 

If the Bears checked him out I wouldn't see him as the feature back, maybe a change of pace.

I cant see us letting Howard go in order to make room for him. Howard is young and I'm sure the team would like to see what he can do. I would bring him in for a look but don't see it happening. I do question why saints would let him go though. They have enough salary cap issues and cutting him hurts even more as he continues to count for the next 2 yrs. Is he really that bad

Pass as well. Spiller has rarely lived up to his potential, hence why he's bounced around the league a bit and why he got cut. Like others here have pointed out we have young RB's that I'd rather see get game action than bringing in a guy who's failed most everywhere he's been. I really want to see Howard, he could be the future. Langford doesn't really impress me I felt he left a lot of yardage on the field last week. A few times he had big holes and seemed to stumble or trip over his own feet or something it was weird seeing him with open space going down virtually un-hit. He goes down way to easy. Let's see what Carey and Howard can do.

How can we know if Langford can carry the load if he doesn't get 20 carries in game 1?
