The Jets plan to sign veteran running back C.J. Spiller, NFL Network reported Tuesday evening.
The Jets will cut Knile Davis to make room for Spiller on the roster, the report said. They just claimed Davis earlier Tuesday, and the Jets waiving him means he’ll be back on the waiver wire Wednesday.
After being cut by the Saints in September, Spiller played in two games this season for the Seahawks before being released. A seventh-year pro and former first-round pick, Spiller has 12 career rushing touchdowns and nine career receiving touchdowns.
It was a busy Tuesday for teams looking for running back help. The Chiefs signed Bishop Sankey after working out veteran backs Trent Richardson and Vick Ballard.
