Spiller has been in the league since 2010. He spent five seasons with the Bills then spent time with the Saints, Seahawks and Jets. His best season as a pro came in 2012 with the Bills when he had over 1,200 yards rushing and 459 yards receiving. He’s had more than 30 receptions in four of his NFL seasons which he’ll need to be able to do in Kansas City. Interesting signing although it’s been a few years since he’s been productive. Running backs don’t usually get better with age.
He’ll join Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West in the Chiefs backfield. It’s not likely that Knile Davis is back and we don’t know the future of Jamaal Charles. If Jamaal doesn’t play, it seems realistic Spiller makes the roster. We have a long way to go until September though.
