C.J. Spiller, Jamaal Charles and the current state of the Chiefs running backs | Arrowhead Addict
The move for Spiller gives the Chiefs a bit more crowded backfield as they attempt to sift out the best options for the final 53-man roster. For a veteran like Spiller who has bounced around a few teams, it will be an uphill climb to make the final roster, but crazier things have happened before. Just two seasons ago, Joe McKnight was a veteran running back with the New York Jets coming off of a serious injury and hoping to make his mark once again. Despite odds stacked against him, he made the roster and even made some memorable plays for the Chiefs that season.

Bobby Richardson signed by Denver Broncos for DL depth | Predominantly Orange
Richardson was a starter for 11 games with the New Orleans Saints as a rookie in 2015, and looked to be a very nice find in the undrafted free agent pool that year. The Saints let Richardson go in September this past season, and he was picked up by the Redskins, signed to their practice squad.
