I heard his rant, and the reason for his position was really idiotic.
D-Mac logic: Sanders is a "locker-room cancer" because he's a selfish player because he banned talking to some reporter who criticized him. This somehow is supposed to matter to other players in the locker room? Most players look on the media as a kind of monster they have to deal with, but which nobody really likes. And Sanders was calling for the ball? OMG! A WR wanted more touches for an offense that was struggling. And that is a surprise how?
Media tempest in a tea-pot.
Pretty much this. It's not like he's Terrell Owens out there. As Siemian grows in experience Sanders will tone that down. Elway and Manning would never tolerate a WR doing that. They'd tell the guy to cool his jets or they wouldn't throw him the ball. Manning would just ignore guys he didn't trust. It's easy for a QB to discipline WRs and get them in line. "Want me to throw you the ball? Behave."
And yet he's one of the few players with a kicking and screaming attitude on offense...
Sounds like you listen to too much DMac. When you get your sports info from trolls you gotta realize that you won't have a lot of accurate information to go off of. I've never seen anything other than heart and leadership out of Sanders.
Even if we had a replacement. His contract basically prohibits that until about 2018. If he goes anywhere, that'll be the year it happens. He'll be a Bronco next year simply because we lose money to cut/trade the guy. It only makes sense to lose money cutting a player if he's a locker room cancer and I've never once gotten that vibe from DT, in fact he's pretty well respected in the locker room.
