Anderson: Proven, Many Miles Left, & A Fit

[saX man]

Sauns and Saunas,

There are some major points not being emphasized enough with the CJ Anderson signing. 

This is not a Hurnery 2.0 hype thread, this is a, "This is a strong signing" thread

Oakydokie..

• With the RB market these days, you deal with the annual early burnout syndrome, early fading, and not finding the right combo platters.  Wendy's spicy chicken and chickfila fries please, animal style.    
• We just signed a 27 y/o who just had his first 1,000 yard season.  Maybe not his flashiest, but, he eclipsed 1k and is in his prime (prime by today's standards). haute dog, or cat shall I say
• 1 year prove it deal, he wants it
• Probably one of the better attitudes of a higher end FA signing we've had in quite some time
• Don't forget Denver matched an offer sheet for him from Miami to keep him.  That early career overpay got them no takers in the trade market when and it made sense to let those dollars lose.  

He just seems like a really good fit here folks.  We're getting a guy we KNOW is impactful.  We're not hedging our bets on the next hype train and he's a strong fit on multiple levels.  We've got a good full sized runner, ready to go. 

Stewart was better at this point in his career but Anderson splitting with McCaffrey is seriously good.  We are elevated.  

And now, a movie scene

Goodbye Mr Burton.

I like Hood more. See ya cap, see ya fozzy 

[DaveThePanther2008]

With the signing of Hood and Anderson we could see the guy slated as our starting power back on the waiver wire by the end of the preseason.   

I won't lose sleep if CAP and Fozzy are gone.

Hopefully, Turner has plans for Armah.

Why did Denver cut him?

Anderson's release or a trade have been possibilities since the end of the season, something Anderson himself acknowledged several times along the way. Broncos coach Vance Joseph outlined a much bigger role for Booker at the league meetings last month.

Anderson's contract also gave the Broncos the ability to move on without any penalty of "dead money" -- salary-cap charges for players no longer on the roster. At $4.5 million, Anderson would have had the fourth-highest base salary at the position for the coming season. But the structure of the deal meant if Anderson was released, the Broncos would not be charged any dead money.

We had CAP and Fozzy last year with Stewart.  Why would we drop them this year with Anderson?

This is a great signing and will be seen in the first game. Keep pounding!! He likes the motto!!

[The Huddler]

21?

 

I thought he was 20

 

I like 21

I think we’ve had a few good signings but this is the best of the offseason.  All on paper but we’ve gotten better in the backfield, and  better at wide receiver.   Our DL is a push and there is optimism for the secondary. To me the Norwell gap is still a bit of a question but I think we can get by.  Overall a solid offseason. 

On paper.

one of my favorite movies ever.

and i agree with that stuff you wrote.

[RumHam]

Huddlers a month ago calling this a dumb decision to go and sign him when we could just draft a QB also now pretending that never happened. Good post.

[MHS831]

A free agent signing in May is usually crap...for the money, this was our best signing.  It is huge.  I predict we give him a 2-3 year extension  before December.

[kungfoodude]

I think he will be a great Stewart replacement. Now if we can just get that OL shored up in front of him.....

Speaking of Wendy's and Chic-Fil-A, I've heard CJ Anderson loves fast food.
