NFL Rumors: Broncos ‘Likely To Deal’ Emmanuel Sanders By Trade Deadline

With the Denver Broncos not exactly knocking on the postseason’s door, it should come to the surprise of nobody that the team is willing to listen to trade offers for some of its top players.

Emmanuel Sanders has been talked about as a potential trade target for a number of teams in the NFL — including the New England Patriots. New England reportedly has made phone calls to Denver on the wide receiver and the Broncos reportedly have set their price.

But would Denver pull the trigger on shipping out 32-year-old? It appears it plans on it.

Mike Klis of 9news in Denver reported Sunday that Denver is “likely to deal” Sanders before the Oct. 29 deadline.

Sanders suited up when the Broncos lost 30-6 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday and reportedly is likely to play next Sunday when Denver takes on the Indianapolis Colts, according to Klis. He has made 30 catches for 367 yards with two touchdowns.

Sanders is in the final year of his contract, so whoever makes a deal to land the wideout, it likely would be on a one-year rental.
