Running back C.J. Spiller knew there would be a landing spot for him after the New Orleans Saints cut him loose more than two weeks ago. The tricky thing for Spiller would be finding the right opportunity.
Spiller, 29, thinks he found the right fit after signing a one-year deal with Seattle on Wednesday after a free-agent tour that included visits to the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers following his release on Sept. 13. To make room for Spiller on the 53-man active roster, the Seahawks waived running back Terrance Magee.
On Thursday, Spiller, the ninth overall pick in the 2010 draft, told reporters the Seahawks' "family atmosphere" was one of the things that attracted him to Seattle.
