Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reports that Bills RB C.J. Spiller wants to be the teams starting running back next season. Florio mentions that this could end up creating some problems if the Bills do re-signing Fred Jackson as it was reported earlier in day. Spiller really came on late into the year following Jacksons season-ending injury. He managed to finish the season with 561 yards rushing which comes out to a solid 5.2 yards-per-carry. He even spent time at wide receiver in an attempt to increase his usage.
