The importance of Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders became greater when the team traded away their top receiver Demaryius Thomas. It sounds like Sanders values his financial security more than helping the team win.
The soon-to-be 32-year old Sanders responded to a suggestion from 104.3 The Fan’s Twitter account suggesting that he should restructure his contract to help the team sign other players.
By the sounds of it, a restructure is out of the question.
Sanders counts $12,937,500 against the 2019 salary cap, which is the third-highest on the team.
In comparison, for the 2019 season, Sanders ranks 15th in the entire league in term of salary cap value for wide receivers.
