Weird cut. He was decent last year -- 1,000 yards, 4.1 average, etc.
Maybe Denver going RB early only they know this !!!

He's better......yes....but I thinks'd prefer going with the younger Smith. CJ is coming off a 1k yard season. That should be a pretty penny for a backup.CJ is 10 times the running back Smith is
I think RB is one of those positions that would actually take less to play behind our line. A la Alfred MorrisHe's better......yes....but I thinks'd prefer going with the younger Smith. CJ is coming off a 1k yard season. That should be a pretty penny for a backup.
Did you actually watch Smith last year? He had one big run and the rest of his performance was below average. We need an upgrade at the backup RB position so if Zeke gets hurt or suspended again we are covered. Rod Smith had 55 carries last year for 232 yards but had 45 yards of that on 1 carry. So the other 54 attempts he gained 187 yards for a 3.4 yards per carry. Rod Smith is a JAG. Him and his brother are both overrated. I like him for special teams and that is about it. For someone so big he is very soft on short yardage runs. Several times on short yardage runs last year he spun and went back first.Smith showed he was capable of running successfully when zeke was out. There are not enough carries to keep 3 rb's involved in this offense with zeke typically getting 90% of the carries. draft a guy late who can either sit an develop or who can also help ST while zeke and smith get the bulk of the reps/ carries this year.
No. Denver had no trade offers for him and just decided to cut him.
CJ Anderson is 27. The Eagles signed Nick Foles (29), Chris Long (33), Alshon Jeffery (28), and Torrey Smith (29) last year. How did that work out for them?You guys need to understand the economics of the NFL today. You don't pay age no matter how good.
You let them go at least 1 year early and keep drafting the future of your team.
Don't even bother. He seems to think you can build a successful team solely based on the draft. No FA or Trades. Ever.CJ Anderson is 27. The Eagles signed Nick Foles (29), Chris Long (33), Alshon Jeffery (28), and Torrey Smith (29) last year. How did that work out for them?

Yes, his $4.5 million dollar salaries in 2018 and 2019 kills his trade value. I'm thinking Dallas could offer him around $1.5 to $2 million a year and secure a viable backup RB.Just like Dez...Teams don't want to trade for other teams mistakes and problems.
Depending on the money involved, Anderson would be a great signing. He's only 27 and has had success in the league. I realize 27 for a RB isn't the same as 27 for a TE, but he's still got plenty left. Besides, I'm thinking about a 2-3 year contract as a backup RB, not a five year starter.

And they don't know the NFL passing game and can't block like an NFL vetThere are better and younger RB's in this draft and we're likely to get one.
He's an above average RB and will be a backup in Dallas. I guess it depends on what your idea of a difference maker is. If Elliott were to sustain an injury that cost him a game or two, would you want Smith as our starter? I wouldn't. I don't disagree that we need to draft a change of pace back, but even that type of back isn't going to work as a fill-in for Elliott.I would rather just keep Smith and look for a Kamara type in the draft. CJ is not a difference maker at all.
