The Facts:
Before they traded for Darren Sproles, the Eagles first tried to add a younger, more dynamic weapon to their offense. The Eagles contacted the Bills this offseason with hopes of trading for Spiller, according to two league sources familiar with the situation.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to CSNPhilly.com's Geoff Mosher, the Bills weren’t interested in moving Spiller, both sources told PFT, and talks never heightened into an offer. But it’s clear that the Eagles were looking to add a different dimension to their offense as they prepared to part ways with wideout DeSean Jackson, another indication that Chip Kelly had planned to move on from Jackson well before the team released him March 28. ... Otherwise, the Bills' desire to hold onto Spiller should lend fantasy football owners at least a degree of confidence that a (hopefully) healthy Spiller will get another shot at fulfilling his potential in Buffalo this fall.
