MIAMI (AP) A person familiar with the situation says restricted free agent running back C.J. Anderson has received an $18 million, four-year offer sheet from the Miami Dolphins.

The person confirmed the offer to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the Dolphins have not commented.

Anderson rushed for 720 yards last year for the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, who have five days to match the offer. The Dolphins need a replacement for running back Lamar Miller, who signed a free agent deal with Houston.

New Miami coach Adam Gase was offensive coordinator for the Broncos and Anderson in 2013-14.

Anderson, who was undrafted out of Cal in 2013, made his first free agent visit Thursday to Miami.
