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."

You cut off one Black Bob head, and two more grow in its place.

It's a futile effort. See, now we've got Mugsy AND OldSchool.

I was a fan of letting him roam under one username if he'd ditch the other one, but it's pretty apparent he can't be trusted with even that given his comments to Sauto.

Stop, Has anyone else noticed he's been starting threads etc? He's out to prove himself. When I left the last time I stopped him from following through with his game breakdowns. He really does have butt hurt because I have owned his ass. Is he really a good poster or is he just using breakdowns and shit from Arrowhead Pride? See for yourselves.

He's just a one trick GIF pony when it comes down to it. Do you see him bullying Bosschief for misspelling a thread? Or is it just the newbs on the mob squad hit list?

He is a mix between Pat from the old Saturday Night Live skits and John Clayton from ESPN. He lives with his mama and is unfortunately crippled leaving him with very few sexual tendencies. I had him pegged early on but you suckers eat his shit up.

It's funny how much I manipulate him without even trying. If you like Sorter, I'm good for this board. He's my inadvertent bitch.

I don't why I like you. I know you're Asian and I grew up in KC. I had a friend named Denny Ying. When I read your posts I hear him speaking. I guess that's why. I've never really gotten personal with you but, I am close. I've never been two accounts at once SNR. If I had, I would have never been in the red. That's a fact.

If you really believed in karma you wouldn't think a lifelong disability for an individual is karmic retribution for the actions of another person.

**TimBone** · 03-14-2014, 09:33 PM

What are the odds we still go after Avant if they sign Sanders. I assume they wouldn't need him at that point.

She's my baby, Hell it's her birthday today. 13.
