Emmanuel Sanders is expected to sign with the Broncos tomorrow, but the process that led him there left the other teams involved fuming and crying foul. One team official claimed Sanders' agent broke "every rule in negotiations."

Agent Steve Weinberg, on behalf of the receiver, accepted a deal with the Chiefs in principle, according to one team source. Weinberg then engaged in negotiations with the Tampa Bay Bucs, according to another source involved in the process.

While shopping the Chiefs offer to the Bucs, Weinberg never explained that he had already accepted the terms of Kansas City's offer. Later in the night, Sanders' agent had agreed to terms with the Broncos, which is where he is currently headed. Sanders and Weinberg also rankled the 49ers by agreeing to visit, then blowing it off.

"This was one of the worst situations in modern football negotiations," one executive involved said. "Totally wrong. This needs to be stopped."

Reached at his home late Saturday, Weinberg declined to comment on the record when informed of the allegations.

The Dallas-based agent was recently reinstated by the NFL Players Association, which had barred and decertified him in 2003 because it had reportedly found he diverted assets to an offshore account during a dispute with a partner and collecting a fee from a client prematurely. Weinberg later filed suit against the NFLPA and its top officials, alleging they illegally took away his certification for eight years, along with past, present and future income of clients.

Weinberg has two clients currently on NFL teams, not including Sanders. He had 42 before he was barred.

While Weinberg broke no laws in accepting a deal, the entire situation infuriated those he dealt with. It is commonly accepted in the league that once two sides agree to a deal -- in writing or in handshake form -- that's the end of the story. Instead, by Weinberg shopping the Chiefs deal and then not informing the Bucs that a deal had been reached showed another side of the business. It is unclear if the Broncos were aware of the previous actions.

"When a man gives you his words and pulls out," one executive said, "then gives another team your word and pulls out, then gives another team his word ... Not proper."

Ohhhhkay. Didn't know it was an child abuse scenario. I thought there was some weird inbred shit going on.

My bad, i'll refrain.

I wouldn't mind if they signed Sanders and still went WR in the first. Bolster the WR core for the foreseeable future.

So you don't know who OldSchool is, then?

Why is it that the Mugsy and OldSchool accounts agree on pretty much every goddamn football topic being discussed but never seem to have conversations with each other? They've both posted plenty of times on this forum recently. Just never noticed each other?

I'm not in favor of you getting a ban or anything, but if you're lying and actually are trying to cover up with two accounts, that's a whole lot of bullshit.

What the hell is going on here?

Really, what about his bullshit? He started it today man. How do you think I feel when I read your threads about that girl who was abducted in MO and shit? All that's sad but, it's also OK to put gifs of little girls up being shot with cum on a Chiefs message board? Then, make fun of the guy who had a problem with it for a year and half after he was forthright about his personal experience? What is the ****ing difference between that and me making fun of tards? There was a long thread about everyone who has tard kids. it was a sob fest I tell you. Everyone shared their personal experience and cumb -eye-ahhed. But my experience is a joke? it's perfectly fine to give me hell?

The shit Mugsy posted was reprehensible. I just can't figure out why everyone thinks it's cool to make fun of him for being molested and sexually assaulted as a child. It's mind numbing...
