When it comes to some of the toughest decisions this offseason for the Los Angeles Rams, there’s no question that allowing C.J. Anderson to hit free agency ranks near the top of the list after what the veteran did for the team towards the end of last season and the playoffs.
Due to Todd Gurley dealing with a knee injury in December, the Rams originally signed Anderson for insurance purposes at running back, but it’s safe to say they didn’t even expect him to make the kind of impact he did.
From rushing for 299 yards with a touchdown over the final two games of the regular season for stepping up in the playoffs when needed the most, Los Angeles knows that without Gurley, chances are they never would have reached Super Bowl 53.
