In a way, running back C.J. Anderson saved the Los Angeles Rams last season. When they temporary lost Todd Gurley to an injury, Rams signed Anderson, and he responded with two monster games in the regular season while also playing meaningful snaps in the postseason. Despite this, the 28-year-old is still without a job.

Anderson was recently asked by one fan on Twitter where he will sign next, and the one-time Pro Bowler said he doesn’t know while adding that he feels its “disrespectful” he is still without a job.

“The disrespect is real guess,” Anderson wrote on Twitter. “It is what It is. It’s the same story over and over. All I ever wanted was a full opportunity to play 16. My 16 vs anybody else 16 with no front office / coach trying to move me out the way or play we like this guy game. Just want a 16 all I ask.”

During his six years in the NFL, C.J. Anderson had the opportunity to play all 16 regular season games only once and managed to pass the 1,000 rushing yards mark. It remains to be seen whether some NFL team will give him the chance to try and replicate this success.

Anderson, who previously also played with Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, is averaging 4.5 rushing yards per carry through his career. His NFL career stats include 3,454 rushing yards for 22 touchdowns alongside 108 receptions for 900 yards and five touchdowns.

Ben loves sports so much but prefers watching other people do it. He prefers not to share what teams he's supporting but he is willing to admit that Lebron James is, in fact, the king.
