Emmanuel Sanders
The agent for Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders, Steve Weinberg, told Tom Curran of CSNNE.com that he wanted to play for the Patriots, but was unable to make it work in the end.
โEmmanuel loved it there,โ Weinberg said. โHe said, โGive me Danny Amendolaโs deal and Iโm there.โโ
For what itโs worth, Amendola received a five-year, $28.5 million contract that included $10 million guaranteed, while Sanders would later sign a three-year deal with the Broncos worth a total value of $18 million and $6 million guaranteed.
Itโs also worth mentioning that the Chiefs believed they had an agreement in place with Sanders, but he later visited and signed with the Broncos.
โNew England was competitive throughout the process,โ Weinberg added. โHad they been aggressive from the beginning it would have gotten done, but, in this market, nobody knew what to do with the wide receivers.โ

Seahawks
Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports that OC Darrell Bevellโs decision to try and get WR Percy Harvin more involved in their offense โled to many in the organization thinking that the offense was losing its way.โ
According to Breer, some Seahawksโ players โgravitated toward line coach Tom Cable, and openly campaigned for a return to the teamโs downhill-running ethos.โ
