C.J. Anderson To Stay With The Broncos
DENVER (CBS4) - C.J. Anderson will be back in a Broncos uniform next season.
General Manager John Elway announced that the Broncos matched the $18 million, four-year offer from the Miami Dolphins for Anderson, who was a restricted free agent and was tendered at the low level, preserving refusal rights for the Broncos to match any offer sheet.
Just got off the phone w/CJ & let him know we're excited to match the offer sheet. We have high expectations for CJ and are glad he's back!
