Sanders, Broncos agree on 3-year, $33M extension

The Denver Broncos used the months after Super Bowl 50 to refashion a massive new contract for pass rusher Von Miller and lock down linebacker Brandon Marshall with a four-year, $32 million deal.

One day before kicking off their title defense against the Carolina Panthers, the defending champs on Wednesday handled one final bit of housecleaning: paying Emmanuel Sanders.

Broncos general manager John Elway tweeted that the veteran receiver agreed to a three-year extension, writing: "He plays with intensity and we love the way he competes."

NFL Network's James Palmer reported that the three-year pact is worth $33 million and runs through 2019. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport adds that Sanders will receive $27 million in guarantees.

Prior to the extension, Sanders was set to make $5.6 million this season as part of the three-year, $15 million deal he signed in 2014. Fellow Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas also inked a five-year, $70 million contract last offseason, ensuring that new starting quarterback Trevor Siemian -- and, ultimately, rookie Paxton Lynch -- will have both players on the field for years to come.

The Broncos, incidentally, are the only club with multiple 1,000-yard receivers in each of the past two seasons.

He's no longer among the NFL's younger crop of pass-catchers, but Sanders fits well into coach Gary Kubiak's system and remains a key part of this offense -- no matter how run-oriented the Broncos become in 2016.

To the Mange with that garbage.


**** the Broncos.

is elway dipping into his dealership profits yet?

Cheating scum. **** the donkeys.

So glad we have Maclin instead of Sanders. Emmanuel hauls in less than 60% of his targets. He's had one great season with Manning and the rest of his career has been crap

That run will be coming to an end this yearROFL

$25million/year on 2 receivers. Plus the money to VonMurderer this season. Yeah, they keep that up and then Picxston and Semen boy fail, ElFraud won't have any money to pay a QB.

Irks me just to see his name now. Really thought he was going to be a Chief.

Maclin and Sanders would have been a great duo, had it happened that way. As it is, KC can't afford both of them anyway. Here's hoping Conley will continue to step up, but right now, no lie.... if something happens to Maclin?

The Broncos will have almost $40M worth of cap space next year.

They better get their next aging HOF QB next year then, before these big contracts catch up to them. Oh Crap! Drew Brees just extended with Nawlins. Hmm. I think ElFraud is shit out of luck. Oh, and without seeing the numbers, there went $11million, maybe more of that $40M. And how many players are under contract? That money might go faster than you think.

Won't matter. With Drew Brees recent extension, there won't be a new 'franchise' QB to buy (a la Manning) if the Semen/Lynch experiment fails.

lets say like, oh i dunno, the new england game :D

To the FAX machine!

They were projected to have $49M worth of cap space before Sanders' contract. In the last 2 years Elway has locked up DT, Sanders, CJ Anderson, Chris Harris Jr, Derek Wolfe, Brandon Marshall and Von Miller.

Wow. ElFraud locked up a dead Chiefs linebacker. Impressive! And you misspelled Vondouchebag.
