Bills RB Spiller has new agent and added role returning kickoffs entering contract year
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller has a new agent to handle his off-field needs entering the final year of his contract.
That should free up Spiller to concentrate on his on-field production, which will include opening the season at Chicago on Sunday with the added responsibility of returning kickoffs.
Whatever it takes, Spiller says. He is eager to reprise a role he excelled at during his college days at Clemson, where Spiller tied an NCAA career record by returning eight kickoffs for touchdowns.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Bills turned to Spiller because of nagging injuries to their top two returners.
The timing is ideal for a player seeking to make a case to prove his value after hiring agent Chad Speck to represent him in contract talks.
