C.J. Anderson had a roller coaster of a 2018 campaign. He began the season with the Carolina Panthers, playing in nine games before being cut. He went on to sign with the Oakland Raiders, but did not even step on the field before the Raiders parted ways with him.

Then, in Week 15, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley injured his knee, and, as a result, the Rams brought Anderson aboard.

He proved to be much more than just a placeholder, racking up 167 and 132 yards, respectively, in Weeks 16 and 17 and then gashing the Dallas Cowboys for 123 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

But, here we are, almost two weeks into NFL free agency, and the 28-year-old remains unsigned.

When asked on Twitter about his thoughts on the situation, Anderson had this to say:

“The disrespect is real,” Anderson wrote. “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.”

You have to feel for Anderson, who is just one year removed from a 1,000-yard season.

On that same token, though, expensive running backs are becoming less and less of a thing in the NFL, as teams have been getting by with cheaper halfbacks behind strong offensive lines.

We obviously don't know how much money C.J. Anderson is asking for, but if he is commanding a high price, that would certainly explain the lack of activity surrounding him.
