The Facts: Despite a disappointing 2015 season, the Saints fully expect Spiller to be an impact player in 2016.

Diehards Line:"I think we will see the real C.J. Spiller and we will be able to give him a lot of opportunities to get back to player that he was," GM Mickey Loomis said on Thursday. "We are looking for some good things from him. He's a special player when he is right." Hopes were high when Spiller signed with New Orleans last offseason. By Week 16, though, Spiller was a healthy scratch before landing on season-ending injured reserve to rest a banged-up knee. The former Bills star played in 13 games in 2015 but never held a major role in the attack after signing a four-year, $16 million deal. Three years removed from his monstrous 1,400-yard rushing campaign, Spiller churned out just 112 yards on the ground. The Saints believe he was never fully healthy; that'll be the first step towards making an impact.
