Actually not a bad signing. He's been a serviceable RB in his career. Is a veteran so should be more reliable in pass protection than Kelly probably would have been. Obviously Kelly is by far a better runner but it's all about what you can do every down.

Great signing. He was a 1000+ yard rusher last year.

Kids tough. He’s my sons age. Grew up in Vallejo, next town over from where we lived.

Kind of a mini-Oakland.

Maybe they brought him in so Peters could ask, “Homie, where you from?”

The loss of Malcolm Brown was huge
Glad to see we address not only the need to rest Gurley but replace our backup RB

Nice

1. What does this mean about Todd?

2. I like Brown alot but if cj is healthy , he can do similar things.

I like the move, trust him more with the ball more than I did pharoah cooper.

Love it...Anderson built like Brown and thrived in the zone blocking scheme in Denver, plus very good in pass protection....Great Move.

Hmmm. On paper, this is a great signing. But you gotta wonder why he's on his 4th team this year.
Is he kind of a dick or something?

Well, 3rd team right? Panthers, Raiders and now the Rams. He asked for his release in Carolina and not sure why Oakland released him, but I still think this is an upgrade over Davis and Kelly for pass protection alone.

Well, yeah, sorta. He was *on* the Broncos team in April.

C.J. Anderson released by Oakland Raiders
BySTEVEN TARANTO Dec 11, 4:12 PM
When the Oakland Raiders signed former Pro Bowl running back C.J. Anderson just one week ago, it appeared that Anderson had a brand new NFL home back in the AFC West. Unfortunately for Anderson, his tenure with the Silver and Black was a very short-lived one.

A little under a week after signing the Pro Bowler and Super Bowl 50 Champion, the Raiders announced Tuesday that they have released Anderson in a series of roster moves. Anderson was waived as the Raiders made moves to sign offensive linemen, adding guard Cameron Hunt and guard/tackle Denver Kirkland while sending guard/center Jon Feliciano to Injured Reserve.

Anderson, a native of Richmond, California, had gotten an opportunity to join the Raiders last week after his tenure with the Carolina Panthers came to an end. Anderson signed a one-year contract with the Panthers in free agency, and was originally slated to serve as a compliment to star running back Christian McCaffrey. However, with McCaffrey experiencing a breakout season and serving as critical weapon in both the run and pass game, the Panthers opted to keep McCaffrey on the field for most every play - Which led to Anderson's opportunities dwindling down to close to nothing. Following Week 10, the Panthers released Anderson in an effort to allow him to pursue another opportunity.
