Emmanuel Sanders And The Broncos Agree To 3-Year, $33M Extension

Denver Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

The two-time, 1,000-yeard receiver came to an agreement with the team to extend his contract through 2019, which is worth a whopping $33 million.

Broncos Executive Vice President John Elway was happy to announce the extension on Twitter.

“Emmanuel has proven himself as a great player and one of the most productive receivers in the league,” Elway said in a statement. “He plays with intensity, and we love the way he competes. We’re thrilled Emmanuel is going to be a Bronco for many more years to come.”

Sanders, on the other hand, took to Instagram to tell his fans the good news.

Sanders has already established himself as an invaluable part of the team, having racked up 2,539 yards and 15 touchdowns on 177 receptions. And with the changes at quarterback, the Broncos are in a position to dominate.

This contract extension is something Sanders has been openly pining for.

“The city of Denver has been really good tome,” Sanders said in April. “I want to be a Bronco. I want to be a Bronco for a long time. I want to retire a Bronco. Hopefully everything works out. I’m sure both sides will come to something.”

It looks like his wish just came true.
