Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders addressed his contract situation Tuesday in a Twitter response to a hypothetical question from a local radio station.
104.3 The Fan (@1043TheFan) asked: “Should the Broncos approach Emmanuel Sanders about contract restructure?”
Sanders (@ESanders_10) responded with a quote tweet: “It ain’t happening. No way Jose.”
it ain’t happening.. no way Jose.. https://t.co/QmRhzR10sZ
But making sense of Sanders’ tweet and future in Denver requires more nuanced analysis.
Sanders might be taking “restructure” to mean his willingness to accept a pay cut, and with one year left on his contract, it makes no sense for him to accept a reduced salary.
