The people over at numberFire calculated the production per contract for every free agent over the last five years and determined that no player created more value per dollar than retired Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.

And it's not even close.

First, they looked at who had the most opportunities to create value, and clearly Manning as a quarterback in his four seasons with the Broncos put him ahead of the curve, along with many other free agent quarterbacks. Of the bunch, Manning was the only future Hall-of-Famer.

The interesting part came when they calculated the pure value of all free agents, and the list is rather impressive.

Looking over this list, it also appears that Emmanuel Sanders is due one very large contract about a year from now. He has outperformed his deal by a wide margin and should be able to capitalize financially when he becomes a free agent again.

Don't know if we'll be able to afford both Sanders and DT once his contract comes up but Elway still hit a home run getting what he has gotten out of Sanders on this deal.

I love Sanders but man does that guy take a beating. Just wonder how many big years he'd have left when that contract is up.
