49ers should re-sign Emmanuel Sanders, but probably can’t

There’s no questioning the San Francisco 49ers won the 2019 trade-deadline deal with the Denver Broncos, which netted them veteran wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

Sanders finished the season with 36 receptions, 502 receiving yards and three touchdowns during his time with San Francisco, positively shaking up the team’s depth chart at wide receiver and helping carry head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad all the way to the Super Bowl.

Now, Sanders is poised to hit NFL free agency.

“I enjoyed this season,” Sanders told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco after the Super Bowl.
