Per Schefter, Anderson has been signed to a 4-year offer sheet worth $18 million. The Broncos will have 5 days to match if they want to retain Anderson’s services. Anderson rushed for 720 yards with 5 touchdowns in 2015 in a season where he battled through injury.

Could Broncos running back CJ Anderson be the next in line to depart for another team?

As Broncos scatter around league, CJ Anderson is visiting Miami. Denver would have 5 days to match any offer sheet he signs.

Hard to imagine that Dolphins’ HC Adam Gase allows his former Broncos RB CJ Anderson to leave Miami without a signed offer sheet.

The Broncos placed a low-round tender on Anderson. Since Anderson was undrafted, the low-round tender means teams do not have to give up a pick, the tender just allows the Broncos to match another team’s offer if they please. The Dolphins could offer Anderson a lucrative contract with no penalty. Denver would have 5 days to match any offer.
