Broncos still sorting out receiver after Emmanuel Sanders trade
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- On Sunday, the Denver Broncos will play their fourth game since trading wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to the San Francisco 49ers.
Sanders wanted out; he had made that clear to the Broncos. And the Broncos, specifically president of football operations/general manager John Elway, were frustrated enough send the 10-year veteran and a fifth-round pick to San Francisco for third- and fourth-round picks in next April's draft.
It's the second season in a row that the Broncos have shipped out their No. 1 receiver just before the trade deadline after trading Demaryius Thomas during the 2018 season.
