BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders had planned to retire after 10 years in the NFL.
That was the goal, at least, that he set for himself around his sixth season.
“I always wanted to go double-digit numbers,” Sanders told ESPN. “It will be sweet after I retire, to have somebody say, 'Hey, how many years (did) you play?’ Ten." Six just sounded ... oh, yeah. Ten, you know it's real.”
But here the wide receiver is, at 34 years old, playing in his 12th season in the NFL and his first with the Bills.
