After splitting Super Bowl carries with the 2017 AP Offensive Player of the Year and league’s leader in touchdowns in 2018, Anderson faces free agency once again. The Rams welcomed Anderson for their final push for the No. 2 seed and playoff bye after the back had been cut by both the Panthers and Raiders in 2018 — Anderson’s temporary homes after the Broncos cut their 1,000-yard back following the 2017 campaign.
The veteran has told the media multiple times since becoming a Ram, he understands the harsh realities that come from the powers that be building and managing an NFL roster. And with his brief run with the Rams potentially coming to a close, Anderson continues to keep it real facing another contract situation.
“Oh no of course, of course — I mean, it’s a business though,” Anderson said of his desire to stay in L.A. “I was a 1,000-yard rusher last year, top-10 in the league in a lot of different categories, top-five in a lot of different categories at the running back position, I was cut from three teams, so who knows how this business will go?”
