The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The C.J. sweepstakes eventually came down to a Final Four of Miami, Chicago, New England and San Francisco. 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.

Diehards Line: Gase, the Dolphins’ new head coach, was the Broncos’ record-setting offensive coordinator in 2013-14. In addition, John Fox, the Bears HC, has always preferred a two-back system and wanted Anderson to pair with Jeremy Langford. ... As 9News.com's Mike Klis explained: "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."
