The Miami Dolphins have signed Broncos restricted free-agent RB C.J. Anderson to a 4-year offer sheet, giving Denver five days to match or lose him. The San Francisco 49ers, who have been looking for some running back help, showed interest in Anderson.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee
reported the 49ers' interest yesterday. "While splitting carries with Ronnie Hillman for most of the season, Anderson finished 2015 with 720 rushing yards (4.74-yard avg.) and five touchdowns. He started Super Bowl 50 and rushed for the team's only offensive touchdown," Barrows pointed out.
There are also some questions regarding the durability of Hyde, who missed nine games last season with a broken foot. Hyde
appears to be recovering well and is on track to take part in the team's offseason activities.

Age is nothing but a number for 33-year-old CB Josh Norman, who is quickly fitting in with the 49ers
Josh Norman may be at an age that is often associated with decline when it comes to NFL cornerbacks, but he isn't about to let it stand in the way of doing what the 49ers expect from him in the weeks ahead.
In 2015, Norman was voted as a first-team All-Pro with the Carolina Panthers and was regarded as one of the elite cornerbacks in the league. But now, at age 33, Norman is one of the older active players at his position and is the oldest defensive player on the 49ers' roster (38-year-old kicker Robbie Gould and 35-year-old center Alex Mack are the only 49ers players older than Norman).
If you're surprised to read that little factoid, so was Norman when it was presented to him during his post-practice media session on Thursday.

Steve Young says 49ers' late game fade in Detroit may be "a sign of immaturity"
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, and current ESPN analyst, Steve Young spoke on KNBR Radio on Wednesday, as he does each week during the NFL season. Among the other things he discussed on the Tolbert, Krueger and Brooks Show, which included labeling the 49ers quarterback situation as "fraught with terror," considering how it plays out, was how the 49ers finished the game against the Detroit Lions last Sunday. Specifically, how they went from having such a huge lead to almost losing that lead.
