Last offseason, Denver nearly lost their workhorse back to the Adam Gase-lead Miami Dolphins. Instead, Denver matched Miami’s offer sheet and Anderson remained in Denver.

Slowed by injuries in 2016, Anderson managed only 437 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Staying healthy has been a problem for Anderson, as he missed time in 2015 as well.

With Denver linked to a high-profile running back in this year’s draft, Denver could move on from Anderson and save $3 million in cap space by doing so.
