Update on #Broncos Sanders negotiations...Sides have exchanged 1 proposal...Sanders seeking $24M guaranteed (not fully) w/settle for $21M..

-----------------------------

I don't know how reliable Goodman is, but I can see that from Sanders' perspective. We probably want him at $10 million a year or so, I would think.

That is palatable.

How old is he?

He's 29, so he'd be 30 by the time any extension kicked in.

He has enough speed and route running ability to 'age well' in the NFL if that makes sense.

As the Broncos continue to do off-field business in preparation for their Super Bowl title defense, a contract extension for wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders probably doesn’t rank as high as on the priority list as resolving the Von Miller situation does, but it could be something the team and Sanders get done in the near future.

Mike Klis of News 9 in Denver reported Wednesday that the sides have “exchanged proposals.” Troy Renck of the Denver Post tweeted that Sanders offered no update on the situation but said he was hopeful a deal can be reached.

Sanders, 29, has been a bargain for the Broncos on the three-year, $15 million deal he signed with the team prior to the 2014 season. Sanders has caught 177 passes and 15 touchdowns over his two seasons in Denver and has missed just one game in that time.

Now that linebacker Brandon Marshall got his new deal, it makes sense that Sanders would be next in line. The price of keeping a Super Bowl contender together is a heavy one.

$12 million would make him the seventh-highest paid wide receiver in the league.

What did DT and Dez get?

Yeah I think that's probably too steep for us, but maybe the Broncos will surprise me. He takes a ton of punishment though so I'm not sure he's a long-career receiver, much as he's become one of my favorite players in the league.

He is one hard working dude.

I don't see how you can pay him that and pay DT what he makes. I doubt he gets 12 from Denver.

I'd be surprised if anyone paid him $12. He's had one year where his production equaled that value.

So now Sanders may be gone? lol

He's a fan favorite and a tough sob but you can't pay everybody.
