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.

NFL executive reveals what he'd hypothetically offer for 49ers QB Trey Lance
The surprising emergence of San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has left many questioning the future of the team's former starter, Trey Lance. The Niners gave up a lot for the young quarterback, parting ways with multiple first-round picks as part of a package to move up in the draft to acquire Lance.

"This Brock Purdy thing doesn't look like a fluke," NFL insider Jason La Canfora recently said on CBS Sports' The Zach Gelb Show. "They're going to want some veteran on that team, but I don't know how that all shakes out. Obviously, Trey Lance, do they trade him? Some people I've

The 16.3 points allowed per game and 77.7 rushing yards allowed per game (second in the NFL) were the lowest for the 49ers since 2011. San Francisco also registered a league-high 20 interceptions.

As tackle Trent Williams walked off the field at AT&T Stadium, he noticed two Cowboys fans gesturing at him, and they weren't gestures of congratulations.
All Williams thought to do was point and laugh. Photographer Cooper Neill captured the moment.
