A little nervous Broncos are trying to get more cap space w/Wares contract.

more like deciding not to use the 2nd round tender on Anderson, especially if he is now scrambling to match the offer

There is nothing about Anderson that says he isn't replaceable. Just saying their QB situation is a dire problem, not their RB issue. Kubiak has shown the ability to plug and play his rbs.

To the comment on Osweiler being a fraud, maybe so. I have no real opinion on him. But any team rather stick with a QB who sat and learned the system and took notes on how a professional prepares. Now? They are stuck with a infinity of unknowns.
 
What is wares new terms? Wakes should mirror although wake took a team friendly deal already when he signed the prior extension...probably why hes playing hard ball

I do think it's AMAZING the contrast of the media there in Denver compared to our beat writers. They lose a bunch of stud players & look at what he said about Elway. Granted he won a SB but it's not too hard with having Manning & players wanting to play with Manning but he did hire Kubiak.

I have noticed the Denver media has the same attiyude regarding the broncos that the SLC media does about Byu i.e. the sports team in question has floral scented fecal matter. Elway is a jacka**

I think he is a great fit and it would instantly be our best offseason move .. but no point sweating it, we have offered very good money for the player and if it happens it happens.

Agree. All the pressure is on Denver.
 
KUSA - All the Denver Broncos have to do is decide whether to give the NFL’s third-highest running back pay to C.J. Anderson.

Whether it’s the Miami Dolphins or Broncos that pay it, Anderson will get $6 million that will tie him with Tennessee’s DeMarco Murray for this season’s third largest running back pay out.

Only Adrian Peterson, who will draw $11 million from the Minnesota Vikings, and Tampa Bay’s Doug Martin, who just got a new contract that will pay $8 million this year, will make more than Anderson. (Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch was to draw $9 million but he recently retired).

And neither Peterson or Anderson are going to get a $5.25 million signing bonus check on March 31, as Anderson will thanks to a front-loaded offer sheet he signed with the Dolphins on Thursday.

Here is Miami’s offer to Anderson, as NFL sources confirmed to 9NEWS:

2016: $5.25 million signing bonus due March 31 (guaranteed). $675,000 salary (guaranteed), $100,000 workout bonus. Total: $6 million.

2017: $2.9 million salary ($1.7 million guaranteed). $100,000 workout bonus. Total: $3 million.

2018: $4.5 million salary (not guaranteed).

2019: $4.5 million salary (not guaranteed).

Total: 4 years, $18 million.

The Broncos have until 2 p.m. Tuesday to match.

When it comes to matching, the most difficult aspect for the Broncos will be the $5.25 million check that has to be written within 18 days. After the first year, though, the final three annual payouts of $3 million, $4.5 million and $4.5 million can be viewed as team-friendly for a running back who just turned 25 years old, rushed for 72, 72 and 90 yards on 4.3 yards per carry in three postseason games, and already has a Pro Bowl appearance and Super Bowl title.

If the Broncos do match, it would be inconsistent with how they viewed Anderson as a restricted free agent. On Monday, the Broncos surprisingly didn’t give Anderson the second-round, $2.553 million salary designation.

Instead, the Broncos gave him the lowest, right-of-first-refusal tender that was to pay him a $1.671 million salary.

Once the industry realized Anderson could be had without compensating the Broncos with a draft pick, much less a second rounder, nine teams contacted his agent Peter Schaffer during the tampering window Monday and Tuesday to express their interest.

Add in the Broncos and one-third of the league were in on Anderson, who is considered a rare four-tool (blocking, receiving, rushing and smarts) back.

The C.J. sweepstakes eventually came down to a Final Four of Miami, Chicago, New England and San Francisco. And then it was whittled to Chicago and Miami. John Fox, the Chicago Bears’ head coach, has always preferred a two-back system and wanted Anderson to pair with Jeremy Langford.

The Bears even had the richest offer at four years, $19 million. Anderson nearly picked the Bears as he was about to board a flight from the San Francisco airport to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon.

Instead Anderson went to Miami and its four-year, $18 million offer in large part because of his familiarity with Adam Gase’s offense. Gase, the Dolphins’ new head coach, was the Broncos’ record-setting offensive coordinator in 2013-14.

The Broncos now have two options: They can admit a $3.45 million mistake (the difference between the second-round tender salary of $2.55 million and the $6 million Anderson will instead receive) and match the offer. In that case, Anderson is a Bronco.

Or the Broncos can pass on matching and set their sights on either free-agent running back Alfred Morris or Arian Foster – or both.

In that case, Anderson would become a Dolphin.

Match or no match, the Broncos are expected to select a running back within the first two days of the three-day draft. The top three running backs on just about everyone’s list for the 2016 draft that will be held April 28-30 in Chicago: Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry and Devontae Booker.

He was due to make $7 million in salary next season with a $3 million roster bonus due Sunday. Under the restructuring, his base salary will be reduced to $6.5 million, but he will receive a $2 million bonus and will have an opportunity to earn his money back.
