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."

What a ****ing joke

No, the reason Denver has cap space is not because they have "drafted so well".

Who did they draft so well? Clady? Demariyus and Julius?

Most of the god damn team is made up of free agents.

Denver has to become the Miami heat in order to win a Super Bowl. GTFO with this

You watch. They won't be the same without Beadles.

That's the one that gets Neckbone killed.

Ron Parker. Watch out for this kid. Everytime he was on the field he made plays. Don't be surprised if he is your starting FS come week 1

To sum it up: The sky is falling and the season is over because we didn't sign a guy most people hadn't even heard of this time last week.

L.A. Chieffan · 03-15-2014, 08:58 PM

Most of the god damn team is made up of free agents.

Clady
Demaryius
Julius
Decker
Beadles
Von Miller
Orlando Franklin
Sylvester Williams
Derek Wolfe

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

Poor comparison. The Heat haven't been absolutely obliterated in the Finals to the degree that the Donkeys were in the Super Bowl. Even in 2011 it went six games, with most of them being close. They also aren't led by a 37-year-old choke artist with a busted neck.
