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."

Derek Wolfe and Sylvester Williams are better than Poe? LOL.

This is your drafting well? An average RT, 2 players who aren't even Broncos anymore?

I'll give you D. Thomas, J Thomas, Clady, and that's it, you piece of shit homer.

Whatever makes you feel better qweef boy

This seems like a bit of an over reaction.

You're out of your damn mind if you think Houston = Miller. Miller missed almost all of last year.

1 out of all the names listed. (I'll throw you 2 since it's so pathetic) shows how much better drafting we have done than KC while drafting closer to 32 than KC.

I'll be out of my mind then.

You do realize that Justin Houston graded out as a top 2 OLB right?

TambaBerry · 03-15-2014, 09:03 PM

Thomas is a product of manning.

Your drugged out OLB is living off that 2nd overall pick reputation.

Each solid starters miles ahead of anyone at their position on your roster.

Sorry. You obviously don't watch the games. Or pay attention to the team.

Beadles is now a Jaguar.

Losing Decker and Beadles is substantially more of a negative impact than gaining Two-Screws Sanders is a positive one.

Nobody cares about playoff wins in pro sports. Only the Champ matters dickhead. Donkeys were overrated sissy's and Seattle beat the shit out of you. Horseface bundle of sticks Elway is now trying fo go overboard because be knows Manning is old as shit and won't play past this season. He looked old and slow in the SB.

kcpasco · 03-15-2014, 09:05 PM

Yeah Sanders is a decent wr and it sucks to lose him to Denver but Sherman is still laughing at those flying ducks from fivehead.
