Seattle Times, with Rawls out of commission for a considerable amount of time. Rawls is out with a cracked bone in his fibula.
Seattle beats other teams to the gun
C.J. Spiller was being linked to various teams such as the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets. The 29-year-old did work out with the Jets recently but surprisingly ended up getting signed by the Seahawks. With the signing, C.J. Spiller will work alongside Christine Michael and C.J. Prosise for the Seattle.
Better outlook for the Seahawks
Since parting with the New Orleans Saints, Spiller has been an interesting player to consider on the free agent market. He is a previous top 10 pick and made the Pro Bowl back in 2012 while playing with the Buffalo Bills.

Like most NFL players, injuries have been singled out as a reason. He was limited to just nine games last season with the Saints and apparently one of the reasons why he was in favor of Travaris Cadet.
"C.J.'s health and his movement skills look noticeably different," Saints head coach Sean Payton said via
Times-Picayune. "He worked his butt off in the offseason to get the strength back in that leg he had his injury. That's been real encouraging."

Now, C.J. Spiller gets a chance to show off his versatility once more. The deal is seen as a low-risk move for the Seattle Seahawks which could turn out profitable if the 29-year-old running back can recall his old form. To make room for Spiller, the Seahawks released Terrence Magee.
