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."

Bowe, Sanders, Lee/Beckham jr. How nice would that be?

Better than anything we've had at WR in the last twenty years.

I will say that if he says it only happened as a child I will never bring it up again.

Sorry.

But **** him anyways

I also cannot find a correlation between Mugsy and Old School.

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.

OldSchool is not blackbob. I've already researched this.

But Mugsy is gone. I just whacked him. I don't know who started what and it doesn't really matter because Sauto is a member in good standing here and blackbob was skating on thin ice, he knew he was on thin ice, and he made a decision to engage in this debacle.

Again sorry, I probably went too far, I would have to read back through to see though, lol.

His bashing doesn't faze me because I know.

What he said to you makes me ill. If you didnt know it happened to him as a child, I understand. We're trying to give Mugsy a chance. If y'all want to bait him into being banned for the final time, have at it. But I cant ban him for what he said here after what was originally said to him. Fair is fair.

I disagree in this case but we'll discuss it elsewhere.
