To be fair, if you're Emmanuel Sanders, why wouldn't you play with Peyton Manning for two years, rack up some exaggerated stats, and get a Decker like payday down the road?

The Denver/Pats arms race kinda owns.

Neither team nor player's agent will confirm, but Broncos are expected to sign former Steelers WR Emmauel Sanders, per league sources.

It wasn't going to happen anyway but still, gently caress off Denver.

4th target or 1st/2nd? He's still behind D. Thomas, Welker and J. Thomas in Denver. In KC he would have only had to really compete with Bowe for targets.

But really, it still boils down to gently caress John Elway. I hate him so much.

It's going to own when the camera pans to Peyton's face when Sanders is wide open in the middle of the field, catches a sure touchdown, and inexplicably fumbles in the open field untouched in next years AFC championship game

Yeah, per Rotoworld:

Rotoworld posted:

Sanders never even visited with the Broncos, but will replace Eric Decker as the No. 3 receiver behind Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker. It's an ideal landing spot for his fantasy value, though Sanders won't be higher than the No. 4 option in the passing game.

...The Chiefs, Jets, 49ers, and Jaguars also showed interest in Sanders prior to signing with Denver.



Also, Pats apparently sign LaFell.

And now Patriots have reached agreement on a three-year deal with former Panthers WR Brandon LaFell, per source.

A...guy who you shouldn't get excited about. He plays WR, not terribly well. As in not terribly well even when you compare him to Pats wideouts last year.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
With Edelman and Sanders both off the market, if Carolina isn't backing up a truckload of cash to James Jones' doorstep, they're complete lunatics. Outside of Jones, who's even left in the free agent pool?

- Santonio Holmes: injury-prone, doesn't give a gently caress, hasn't had a good season since 2009
- Miles Austin: more injury-prone, peaked in 2009
- Kenny Britt: even more injury-prone, doesn't give a gently caress, all sorts of red flags, hasn't reached his potential since entering the league in 2009
- Sidney Rice: even more injury-prone, peaked in 2009

Bizarre 2009 connections aside, the Panthers are basically stuck with "James Jones + 1st round WR + 2nd or 3rd round WR" as their only remaining option to field even a somewhat competent offense this year. Poor Cam.

Man if the Panthers don't sign Jones they are like, completely boned huh? Obviously there's the draft but they need to replace Gross and help the secondary too, not to mention the difficulty in finding rookie WRs to contribute right away.

Mediocre guy, signed him because Dobson is gonna be out for a few months after foot surgery and because it really wouldn't be hard to beat out Josh Boyce or whatever others guys we're running out there for the 4th-5th WR spots. May even overtake

idk I think Boyce might be the 3rd option this year behind Edelman and Amendola (when healthy). He looked really, really good when he was healthy this year.

It's a nice WR draft but some of those guys are going to take 2-3 years before they reach starter level. I know they are in a cap crunch, but was bringing back Lafell/Ginn so hard to do? Would have at least provided Cam some familiarity while the new guys worked in.

I dont know who this (the Twitter guy, no Melton) guy is, but this would be a pretty cool signing, especially if they can get him on a cheap, one year deal. This Twitter man seems to think a deal is imminent and will be announced tomorrow or late tonight.

Yeah, I was most disappointed that we let Ginn walk. He actually looked like a competent receiver last season, added a TON of value to our special teams, and it would have been nice for Cam to have at least some continuity.

I'm pretty sure you are thinking of Aaron Dobson. Because Boyce had 9 catches and barely saw the field and it wasn't because of injuries.

I check this forum almost every day so I guess that means I should pretty much know what is what in football. The radio named the Panthers receivers on Friday and I had never heard of any of them. They may as well have been made up names

(well I recognized one name because he played at Appalachian, but I had no idea he was in the NFL)
