New Panthers running back C.J. Anderson was on the winning side with Denver in Super Bowl 50 against Carolina. He called the Panthers a championship-caliber team. He's already had a conversation with quarterback Cam Newton. “I saw him in the lunch room earlier today. We didn't even talk about football. Me and Cam coached against each other late March, his 7-on-7 team and my 7-on-7 team. I'm excited to see how he prepares and works.''

panthersb_logo.gif Panthers sign RB C.J. Anderson (1 year): A Grade 
Contract details aren't yet known for this signing, which isn't a surprise because the numbers are slow to trickle out in the late spring and summer. For the sake of this grade, I'm going to assume that C.J. Anderson received $3-$5 million. If it's drastically different, I'll re-adjust. 

Anderson was the best-available running back on the market. The Panthers needed to bring in a runner to handle the early-down workload to complement Christian McCaffrey, and Anderson was the top option. Anderson rushed for 4.1 yards per carry (1,007 yards) last year despite running behind a mediocre Denver offensive line. Carolina's front is better, so Anderson should have success in his new home. 

I love this move, so I'm grading it an "A." In addition to providing McCaffrey with a complement, the Panthers are also giving themselves insurance if McCaffrey were to get hurt.
