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."

Update on Jason Avant: Heard there's interest there from both sides but no visit set or anything. Seems to be in a holding pattern. #Chiefs

The team "fading" is an oversimplification of what happened. The DEFENSE faded at the end of the year, while the offense got BETTER. I know this is complicated for you, but maybe if you concentrate really hard you can understand it.

The same franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in 20 years.

Free agency isn't even a week old, the draft hasn't taken place yet, and Avery was already a starter last season. Jenkins is entering his third year and was a first round draft pick. KC signed a DE that is an upgrade over Jackson.

Are you always such a crybaby bitch, or is it your time of the month and you're feeling a little bloated and emotional?

going 9-0 and finishing 11-6 is fading now matter how you want to split it. BTW true fan when the offense started to improve it was because Schwartz was playing and the team scored its most points when Fisher was out. Guess what true fan? Schwartz is gone and Fisher is a starter while right now Linchenbach or Rickshaw Johnson is your starting guard with a struggling often injured fisher is the RT. Thats a recipe for success isn't it? Keep your snudey little comments to yourself bitch.

I'm sorry I didn't realize this was a discussion board where people can you know express their opinions? Yeah we upgraded over Jackson. Dude you didn't even know who Vance Walker was a week ago shut the **** up.

You're right. No well informed NFL fan knew who Walker was before KC signed him.

Unlike you, I watch football on Sundays not Keeping Up With The Kardashian reruns.

If the season started today you'd be correct but ...

This has been one hell of a thread. I think literally just about everything has been covered in this thing.

In58men · 03-15-2014, 06:12 PM

If we let Sanders go and sign Avant or whoever the **** he is, I'll be laughing at Doresey and Reid. Bargain bin since they took over.
