CJ Anderson

[RumHam]

Looks like he's done in Denver. Would it be worth giving a 4th or 5th and cutting stew to bring him in? Someone proven and a RB down there won't have an immediate impact.

 

Anderson closed out the Broncos' disappointing 2017 as one of the bright spots with his first career 1,000-yard rushing season, but he was openly wondering what his future would be immediately following the season finale. Anderson's contract is structured in such a way the Broncos could release him, with two years remaining on the deal, without any "dead money'' charge against the salary cap. The team also seems intent on getting Devontae Booker into the No. 1 role. Coach Vance Joseph, somewhat surprisingly to many with the team and in the league, fired assistant head coach/running backs coach Eric Studesville after the 5-11 finish, a move Anderson was particularly critical of on social media. Add it all up and Anderson appears to be headed elsewhere. If that's the case, the Dolphins will have interest given the Broncos matched Miami's deal two years ago to keep Anderson. -- Jeff Legwold

Interesting... he's only 27 and just rushed for 1000 yards for a bad team with a sorry QB situation. Also the right type of back to compliment CMC. 

[RumHam]

Looks like they're making room for Cousins where they can. I guess contract is an issue. If he'd restructure, poo i'd give a third.

[LinvilleGorge]

He's actually scheduled to make less than Stew. His contract isn't out of line with his production at all. Hell, he probably wants to get cut because he could probably get more money elsewhere. Right now there's no guaranteed money at all in his contract. I think he just fell out of favor with the coaching staff and they have a younger RB who isn't as good that for some reason they think is the answer. Anderson has never averaged under 4ypc in his career. Booker has never averaged over 3.8ypc. I think the donkeys are making a mistake here if they jettison Anderson and his reasonable contract for Booker.

[RumHam]

fug take my money then. Send them a 4th and a pick based on play the next year which could be a third. Dude would be a perfect fit here.

[Untouchable]

Would be a good compliment to McCaffery if we're looking to revamp the position.  He did grade as a very good pass blocking back as well.  Don't really want to see a pick traded but could live with one of our late ones.

[Ricky Spanish]

I'm completely against signing a FA RB.

He will be on the downside of his career as a RB at 27, cheaper options are available in the draft. 

Don't buy high on RBs. Buy low, ride them into the ground for a few years, kiss them good-bye when their rookie deals are over if they don't sign cheap. 

 

[Panthers8969]

if he's cheap sure we can sign him for like 2-3m. He's JAG to me. Lost role in denver multiple times

Why does everyone want to give up a like a 4th round draft pick ( which we don't have) for just an average or ok running back.  Half this board is draft these 20 guys and we are in the super bowl, the other half is give away all our picks for these guys and we will be in the super bowl.  You can get these kinds of guys at the end of March for 2 or 3 million a year and not give up anything.

because people like the idea of projects while others are looking for the impact now. window is closing. need something now and there's other needs elsewhere to address in the draft. by the logic of drafting a running back after the third round we did that already, with Payne, who's on the roster. I mean we can roll with him? Or we get someone proven to give us 2-3 seasons as 27 isn't 30. JStew at 27 was a beast. Anderson would fit us well considering he'd split time.

[juliosantos]

this draft is loaded with late rd rbs i dont want to invest any $$$ on one 

[pantherclaw]

I would not give up a draft pick for any RB that lost his job.

[Saca312]

Biggest complaints since 2015 from Broncos fans is that he's been lazy lately and just not good.

I don't know how he'd be better than Stew.

A fool and his draft picks will soon be departed
