C.J. Spiller will soon be reunited with Chan Gailey.
According to a source, the Jets plan to sign the 29-year-old running back, who was drafted by Buffalo in 2010 when Gailey, the Jets’ offensive coordinator, was the Bills’ coach.
The Jets had been in talks with Spiller on Tuesday, but when they didn’t receive a commitment, they instead claimed former Packers running back Knile Davis off waivers. Running back Troymaine Pope was waived to make room for Davis on the roster. The Jets must now wait until 4 p.m. Wednesday to officially release Davis and sign Spiller.
